We still need LOTS of help with volunteers and donations, and we ESPECIALLY need CAKES! Please http://signup.com/go/KjohsS to sign up. Want an easy way to donate raffle items? Visit the Mission Day Amazon Wishlist here: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/FXIBOY1RRBCS. Gift cards make great raffle prizes, preferably in $20-$25 denominations. And as always for questions about Mission Day, volunteering, or donations, please email Karen Mueller or Emily Schultz at ascensionmissionday@gmail.com.
