Hops and Grapes Needs Your Help
by David Buck
Committee needs $5,000 to cover expenses
Patty Achey-Cutts and her committee are running into roadblocks in their effort to raise $5,000 for our one fund raiser of the year.
Without that financial support, expenses will wipe out the money we can give to our three charities. Her committee has worked very hard and deserves your support.
You can do your part by writing a check for $50, $100 or more and handing it to Patty or to Kelli. Please do what you can.
