We are getting ready for our annual Shamrock Program! Local businesses help by selling green shamrocks during March!
The money raised will send our local children with neuromuscular disease to Summer Camp!
We need our volunteers to assist with assembling kits to be sent to local stores. Activities involve rolling posters, assembling boxes (very simple- similar to a pizza box) and folding T-shirts.
Please contact Samantha at 561-742-3748 to arrange time you will be coming in.More opportunities with Muscular Dystrophy Association
