Gala Basket & Wine Donations 

The  Charity & Truth Gala will be held  Saturday, February 25, 2017, and we are gearing up for a wonderful event. Perhaps Santa will bring you something you do not want or need for Christmas or you have lovely unused items around the houseConsider donating gift items to Res for our Charity & Truth Basket Raffle (non-seasonal items are preferred).  Bring donations to the Main Office any time - your gift can be the gift that keeps on giving! We will also begin taking  Wine Donations in January for our Gala Baskets. Please be sure to have someone 21 or older bring the wine directly to the Main Office as students are not allowed to bring in these donations.
