• Give 10 for Education/School Needs: Marty Novak, Arlea Hadley and Ginny Lucero distributed the school supplies we raised to the various Sierra County schools during the week of September 16^th. Nancy Palladino also obtained gym clothing and when she took them to the schools discovered they still need the following: Elementary schools need socks for boys & girls size 1 to 3,shoes in sizes 1 to 3, and both boy & girl underwear. They could also use tennis shoes in these sizes. The Social worker for the Middle School (who also holds/stores/distributes items for the High School) tells us they need 3 and 5 subject spiral notebooks, adult sweats sizes S, M, L but no hoodies, tennis shoes adult sizes 8-9 for girls and 7-10 for boys, and boys belts sizes 27-32. If you would like to help with these items you can contact Marty or Arlea or drop them off at the Post anytime.

Linda Amdal and Linda Nenno worked very hard to make this fundraising event happen and Elaine Garlow did a magnificent job embroidering all the shirts. Thank you ladies and thanks to Gene Hill for cooking the brisket.
