Highlights of April CPAC Meeting
Rhona Young, Lori Culbert and M.J. Hassard and the Adult Event Committee were recognized for their outstanding efforts organizing our highly successful community-building event and fundraiser. Proceeds from this memorable evening, held in early March,  exceeded the forecast budget and contributed over $13k to the our Emergency Preparedness (EP) Fund. The EP Committee reported that plans to fully stock the Emergency Bin on the lower field are now well underway and volunteers will be sought in the coming months to help pack the bin. THANK YOU to the parents and staff of Cleveland for supporting the Adult Event and enabling us to ensure that our children will be safe in the event of an earthquake!
