(New or updated items'
titles are highlighted in blue)
Editor's note: I will run fundraising
announcements in the E-News about once a week. If you are
associated with a school related organization and would like to
advertise it in the E-News please send me an article to
FRHSnews@windstream.net. I have found the simpler the format
the better. Often when I copy more complicated items the
original formatting (fonts, spacing, colors, etc) doesn't
transfer well and I end up having to retype the article. Please
be sure to include a contact person and an end date, so I know
how long to run the article.
