The Prairie Patch Craft Show will be on November 9th from 9am-4pm at the Southeast of Saline schools. In the booth we will have our Swedish bake sale items. You will be responsible for getting your baked goods to the sale. This is a voluntary bake sale but I encourage everyone to participate. This is just another opportunity to raise funds for the kids' accounts. All funds raised will be split between those participating in the bake sale and those scheduled workers. We normally sell out this bake sale.

The Smoky Valley Community Foundation is offering another grant match during the time period of November 9th - December 3rd. All funds raised will be matched dollar for dollar up to $4,500.
In preparation for St. Lucia on December 14th, I've included information on our upcoming bake sale in which we give our proceeds back to support a local community need. This is a voluntary bake sale, but I encourage everyone to at least donate 1 unit to the charity cause.
