It’s Spring and there are great fundraising opportunities for everyone.

• It’s a grocery bag, toy bag, trip bag, lunch bag, beach bag, an anything bag…it’s a MIXED BAG.  These cute bright “green” (not the color) bags are the latest craze.  They make terrific teacher, Mother’s Day or birthday gifts and can be monogramed for only $6.  Our goal is for each family to sell $100 and all orders are due by April 20th.  Click on Mixed Bags to download an order form and note that the department store bags for the City Lights and Rings patterns are out of stock.  Please contact Heather Butler with any questions. 
• Our Stamm Invitational Swim Meet is just around the corner and everyone is asked to sell $200 in heat sheet ads.  Click on heat sheets to download the Heat Sheet contract form.   Our community is a strong supporter of VSA so get out there and visit our local businesses.  You will be surprised by their generosity.

Please note practice on Saturday, March 20th has been cancelled.
