programs and services remain available to all who need them. This year, our goal will be $9,000.

Won’t you help us meet it?

Again, the challenge campaign will be held from May 1 to June 30, 2014. I hope you will

make a contribution today. And remember, your donation, if made before June 30, 2014 will
