LP4P Spring Fundraiser Thank You:
We think all who attended the LP4P event last Friday night would agree that it was a blast! Carrie Grebel, Michelle Aleksiunas, and their committee did a phenomenal job planning and running this fundraiser. Thank you!!! And a huge thank you also to the generous families who have offered to host an upcoming experience and to all who attended the LP4P event. Everyone played a critical role in making this spring fundraiser such a success.
