Donations may be placed in the box labeled Chinese Auction under the sign-up table. 

October 20th--save the date! The Hearts and Hands craft sale and Chatterbox Cafe provide a wealth of opportunities. If you'd like to be part of the merry crew that makes it happen, you can help direct vendors during set-up, be a runner, sell Chinese Auction tickets, feed and care for our guests in the cafe or help clean up the aftermath of a good time had by all. Another way, possibly the most popular way, to help is to round up some friends and attend the sale and have a great lunch. As always, sign-up sheets are in the lobby and you can call Karalee Morris, Shelly Dunne or Deb Kling with questions you may have. No matter what form of participation you choose, we'll be happy to have you with us.
