Gala Dinner Ticket Sales -- the Gala is March 14, 6pm.

Ticket packets for the Gala were handed out Saturday. If you still need one, ask Josie Anderson. She will have chocolate for everyone who brings ticket money this Saturday, and a king sized candy bar for the person who turns in the most money. She will do this each week until March 7th. You are responsible for your tickets, to either sell them and turn in the money, or return the tickets to Josie.

​Silent Auction​

We are also doing a silent auction, but not quite as big as last year's. We probably don't need a donation from every family, but we still need help from most. We are looking for nice, new items, preferably donated from businesses in the Tremonton, Brigham, Logan and Ogden area.

Thanks!
Julie
