FEATURES AND ARTICLES
The ‘Just Because’ Program
Let’s add even more fun to the “Just Because” program. A donor has provided tote bags like the one shown here, with the 150th logo displayed prominently on the front. For awhile (until the bags run out), every adult who participates in accordance with the “Just Because” guidelines will win either a formal gift or one of these bags. Envelopes 0-30 are set aside for kids and are therefore not eligible.
