One of my "non-paying" jobs is with an organization I've been a member of for many years. This year, I am Co-Chair of our annual fundraiser. If you live in or will be visiting our area, you'll find information below about Holiday Market 2008. Join us! It will be a fun weekend in the Tri-Cities.

MARK YOUR CALENDARS FOR THE SHOPPING EVENT OF THE SEASON!
