Thank you for your support!

Our May 10th League Centennial celebration was blessed by a perfect May evening at the All Seasons Barn at Wright-Locke Farm. The champagne sparkled, the cake was delicious--and comedian Jimmy Tingle was hilarious! AND...our funds raised topped $5,200, thanks to our generous attendees and donors. We couldn't have done it without you!
