Items for sale and fundraisers...
(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.
