SRC Easter Raffle

The SRC is once again holding an Easter Raffle as their first fundraising event of the year. To make sure this is a success we are asking families to donate an Easter egg. The Easter egg donations will be used to make the Easter basket prizes. Every donation will receive a free raffle ticket to go into the draw.

You can also support the SRC by selling the raffle tickets. The tickets are $1 each. There will be four large Easter baskets to be won. The raffle will be drawn on
