Additional Baskets:
Our chapter plans on creating 1 or 2 more baskets for our own fundraiser later this year. Bring any extra items you have in the house that you are not using for a SPA theme or a Ladybug theme. For example, we all get items from Christmas from our friends and family that we just can’t use. Well let’s turn those items into monies to help support our chapter’s fundraising efforts! Items that would be useful include lotion, shampoo, conditioner, perfume, bath beads, soap, etc. Don’t forget any Music CDs or DVDs you never listen to or watch! Give these items to Lisa Glonek or bring to the Tri-City Luncheon on February 5, 2005 and give to Nancy Cerwin or Doris McGahey. Thank You for your continued support!
