That's right, we will be hosting a Crop 4 Vets to raise money to help more veterans.  I am so excited because this is the first of 2 Crops for this new year. That's right, we had several Croppers who couldn't attend the last one and we were asked if we could host another one so more Croppers could attend.  I hope you can join us.  We have lots of prizes too.

I didn't think quick enough to get a pic before Laurie and Jean left.

My granddaughters, Mary and Hailey helped hand out przes and gathered the silent auction bids. We had several members of our Auxiliary making and serving food.  Pizza for lunch and a Baked Potato bar for dinner.   

Last year we raised $431.00 for our Veterans, Military members and their families.  And filled a 35 gallon barrell with personal hygiene products. You could help up raise even more this year.
