Help Support Students in Central America!
Please join us for a fabulous Indian Dinner provided by Mary Philip in support of Seeds of Learning. As many of you are aware, Seeds of Learning is an organization that supports education for children in Nicaragua and El Salvador. All proceeds will go toward scholarships to allow secondary students to attend school by providing funding for transportation and necessary school expenses. Tickets are $25 each and the event is Saturday, September 18th at 6 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall. Table sponsorship for a table of 8 is $200 and is a great way to support a wonderful cause while having a fun night out with family and friends. There will be short presentation regarding the work of Seeds of Learning as well as a silent auction. Please contact Lisa Papagni (or talk with her or Noah at church) for tickets: ldpapagni@ucdavis.edu
