FYI

CTK CRUSADERS TEAM MEMBERS will be selling raffle tickets for a beautiful afghan, made with 100% fisherman pure virgin wool containing natural oils. It consists of cluster popcorn, cable, single and double crochet stitches. It is a beautiful neutral light beige color so it will go well in any room setting or for a male or female. It is VERY warm and feels so good to the touch! It is "hand" wash only. It would make a very nice gift for anyone or for the person who wins it to keep for themselves. I have one made and given to me by the same person who made this one and I can guarantee you comfort and warmth!

This afghan will be raffled at Kilgore's Relay for Life Walk at the Kilgore Youth Soccer Fields on Friday, April 18, 2008. You do not have to be present to win. The raffle tickets sell for $2 each. We would appreciate your support in purchasing some of our tickets.

THE WOMEN'S AUXILIARY THEY ARE STILL OPERATING THE GIFT SHOP at Laird Memorial Hospital and are still in need of paperbacks. The auxiliary sells the books for 25 cents and transfers the money to a fund which helps buy medicine for indigent or needy patients at the hospital and scholorships for nursing students. Please take new or nicely-used paperbacks to the auxiliary desk in the lobby at the hospital.
