Tina Games plans to be interviewed on channel 18 regarding the trip.

New fundraising opportunities- Tina Games is going to invite Bernadette Waystack to our May meeting to discuss the HCC partnering with Middle and High School students.  A possible theme would be birdhouse creations that could become a fundraising opportunity.
