Wanted: Trailer
The school needs a trailer for Big Flea pickups. Big Flea is already accepting donations into the new storage facility and people have been asking to have larger items picked up from their homes. You could help the school if you have one to donate, know someone who would be willing to donate one, or perhaps would be willing to park their own trailer on our campus and let us use it. If you can help, call David Lake in the Development Office at 989-6641, ext. 258.
