DSAF’s Fifth Annual Dinner Dance Fundraiser
Friday, March 7, 2008 at The Watermill in Smithtown

Want to know a great way to help out? Grab a shopping bag and keep it handy to put extra new things that you might accumulate from now until the dinner dance. For example, any extra office supplies (a pad, pen…), toys, school supplies (folder, markers…), beauty products (lotions, make-up…), cleansing supplies (sponge, cleansers…).

These are the little things that add up to make great baskets for the fundraiser.
