Welcoming 2012


Happy New Year from the FRC! We hope that your Holiday Season was filled with joy that carries far into 2012. There are several updates we wish to inform you about as we kick off the new year. Please take a few moments to get informed.

Donate New or Gently Used Coats
The FRC has had several requests for coats this week with the recent cold weather and this has completely depleted our supply. If you would like to donate a new or gently used children's coat please drop it by the JELV FRC across from the main office or call 887.0567 to make other arrangements. Sizes that are currently needed are boys and girls 4,6,8, and 10 with the greatest need being boys and girls sizes 6 and 8.

Family Fun Night
Family Fun Night has been changed from January 12th to Thursday, February 9th from 5pm-7pm. Come join us for some winter fun! We are looking forward to seeing you and your family.
