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.
