a fundraiser- A ride for Maevyn

Karen Gauthier is a past foster mother for this office. She took guardianship of a child with severe disabilities after being shaken.

Maevyn is now about 10 and Karen can no longer lift her in and out of the car to go places.

She is in need of a handicap van so she can take Maevyn to her grandmother’s farm that she enjoys as well as to just about any other place, as now she is mostly homebound.

Karen asked me to sell Calendars for her at the office.

The calendars are $20.00 and there is a prize for every day in January.  Most are gift certificates etc.

I have them available now. If interested you can mail a check to me made payable to “A ride for Maevyn”

I will fill out the calendar form and get to karen for the first drawing!
