Our Annual School Supply give-away, plans are still underway
If attending please bring school supplies for a donation.
This is a free event and we are seeking donations
to pull this major event together.
All committee members, speakers, musicians donate
their time and talents. All proceeds go directly
to producing this event and the projects around it,
give-aways, the Leonard Peltier Honorary Scholarship,
School supply drive etc.
Please consider a donation, rather it be cash or
an auction item. We run a small online auction
page to raise funds. All donated items such as
artwork, pottery, beadwork, autographed CDs,
crafts, shawls etc, are really useful.
This auction raises about 90% of our fund so
either a donation or a bid will help. Paypal is welcomed.
