SDSAF’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.
It’s also a great opportunity to clean out your closets.
If you have anything you would like to donate to our auction please bring it with you to one of our monthly meetings or contact us to make arrangements for pick up.
We are looking for volunteers to help with the dinner dance, please call if you can help!
