 MNRS Foundation

Silent Auction & Boutique 

 

At the 2010 Conference we will be awarding one more grant than in the past. 

 

WHY?

Because last year the Silent Auction and the Talent Show raised enough funds that we could add an additional grant.

 

In order to keep the same number of grants, we need to have successful  fundraising events.  And to have any hope of more grants in 2011, we need to be very successful.

 

We can't do it without your help! Send in your donations for the Auction and buy your tickets for the Talent Show.
