SCHOOL KITS Thank you to all who have contributed to the school kit collection.  This particular collection will be used around the world where children cannot go to school unless they have these supplies.  Their impoverishment far exceeds the poverty in our country and we make the difference in giving them education opportunities.  If you still wish to add to the collection, please do so.   If you wish to contribute instead, give money you wish to donate towards school kits to Edna Sterner.
