The board members have scheduled a fund raising event, “Singing to Keep Us Alive” at the Hometown Pizza Café on April15, starting at 11 a.m.

Anyone who wants to sing can pay a 1$ (or more if they want to!!) to sing a song to help raise funds for this worthy cause. Every-one is invited to participate in this fundraiser.
