NHS HOLDING A QUILT RAFFLE TO RAISE FUNDS FOR MISSION
The CCH Nat’l Honor Society (98 members) is raffling a beautiful, handmade quilt (donated by Jan Paolucci) with proceeds to benefit the work of Fr. Joe Thaler (CCH 1967), a Maryknoll missionary working in Nepal. His work in Nepal helps many groups of people there, especially those affected by the devastation of the 2015 earthquake (with rebuilding, food, and education/enrichment programs for the children).
Tickets are $1 each and will be available from any NHS member and in the CCH lobby beginning March 27th. The goal is $2000 in sales. The drawing will be held April 6th.
