Fundraisers
Thousands of flyers are being distributed for both the Photo Session as well as the Book Lovers Auction. We urge everyone to read these carefully and respond right away.
The Visual Concepts Photo session is a wonderful opportunity for everyone to benefit. With each $50 donation to the CRCC, that person is entitled to a free photo session that includes a free 11-by-14 photo, plus special pricing on holiday cards and other special packages. Besides this, that person will be part of a drawing to take place at the Sweetheart's Gala on Feb. 16 where a winner will be drawn. Winner need not be present. That winner will then receive a free 24-by-30 canvas wall photo to hang on their wall. For more information and to make the donation, call Linda McCarthy of Visual Concepts at 410-626-7474 or email her at linda@visualconceptsltd.com.
