FUNDRAISERS - There are still hats ($6.00), T-shirts ($12.00), or buy a set for $15.00, and pins ($4.00) available for sale.  Please contact any of the directors if you would like to purchase one for yourself or if you know of anyone interested in purchasing one. The youth are still collecting popcans as a fund raiser.  If you can help them out by saving your pop cans and letting John McHardy (519-537-7179) know you have them, so pick up can be arranged, I am sure they will appreciate it.
