CORRECTION: We are meeting this week, July 23.
 
Then we'll have July 30 off and then meet on August6. 
 
The Big Drop is two weeks away! 
Ping pong balls rain down for education in just TWO WEEKS! 
 
We've had a steady stream of ping pong ball sales for the Big Drop in the last two weeks, but we really need to get to work to meet and exceed last year's sales. Our success here is very important because this is our only fundraiser of the year and it pays for all of our outreach in the community. 
 
Please bring any raffle ticket sales to Wednesday's meeting and we'll have some more on hand to pick up if you need more.
