June 13Relay for Life Kick-a-Thon and board breaking. Please pick up a board and help us raise money and break some lumber! Your goal, find 10 people and ask for $10. Have your donors sign the board and then write down a bad habit you want to break. Bring your board to the relay and we will preform a short demonstration and then start breaking our boards. In years past MPK has raised over $6000 for the Relay and Our all time high was $13000. I know we can make a big contribution if we all contribute a little time and energy to this very worthy cause. Please have your donations turned in by June 8.
