SURVIVAL KITS!

We assembled Survival Kits at the meeting – we sold a record-breaking 170 kits this semester!   We will deliver the kits through Friday (it is our goal to have them finished by Friday).  If you have ANY extra time to deliver, please stop by the office! 

A BIG thanks to Joel and Monster Energy Drink for providing Monster for the Survival Kits.  That was a huge savings to St.A.R.T. and something that will be enjoyed by the recipients!
