Please help
us provide a copy of this sweet book –
What Pet Should I Get?
by Dr. Seuss – to all the campers who attend Frankfort Reading Camp! The camp helps struggling elementary school readers for free. Any amount you can give will help make this happen. Make your check payable to
Church of the Ascension
and put “Dr. Seuss” in the memo. Books will be purchased next week, so funds are needed quickly. (Total cost is expected to be about $500. Any amount collected over that total will go directly to Frankfort Reading Camp - other expenses will include t-shirts, photographs, and food.) If you have any questions, contact Deacon Rebecca. Thank you!
