How you can become involved

There will be a list of opportunities here for you to become involved. We plan garage sales, dances, silent auctions, whatever we can do in order to raise the approximately $30,000 we will require to bring the family to Duncan and settle them in a home here.

There will be film nights and lots of fun stuff!
