3.  A special message from Sarah Richey:

Dear Teachers,

On Thursday, I will deliver the Easter baskets to the children at family housing at the Community Kitchen. The Easter baskets should be ready to give to the children by Wednesday afternoon -- basket with items in them. Remember that we can bring travel size toiletries from hotels or gently used items (stuffed animals, ect.). Some of these children have not had an Easter basket before this year.

Thank you for your help. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Sarah Richey
