Marge Brodahl: I've been making & selling bracelets as a fundraiser for my
nephew who teaches calculus at a high school in Greeley. He taught math
at Poudre HS and had a SMARTboard, but now he doesn't have one and really wants
one. He knows that the kids who don't learn via SMARTboard are at a great
disadvantage. He asked me if I'd help him raise some money to get one, so
I made about 300 gorgeous & unique bracelets and am well on my way.
Please encourage attendees to purchase a bracelet or 2 for a great cause!
Deanne Mulvihill, Executive Area Manager with Arbonne International will be
showcasing "What Not To Wear (on your skin)". She will be
