The Youth Group has  chosen the Seeing Eye organization as its 2018~2019 charity focus. 

Beginning Sunday, January 13th,  the Group has been sponsoring a 
Used-Book Fundraiser table at Fellowship Time:
Make a Donation/Take a Book
(and gently used children or adult book donations would also be appreciated)
As of mid-February, this effort had raised almost $200!

The group raised $277 for Seeing Eye by doing a Tricky Tray at the October 19th Fish n Chips dinner
