Bonanza Brown Bags
Due to overwhelming popularity of our Project Bonanza Day held every summer we have decided to create a fall Bonanza Brown Bag with project options to select from. If you are interested please feel out the Google Form. Each project is $8 and you can do as many as you like. These will be done on a first come first serve basis. We will offer them through the month of September. As soon as we have the supplies for your projects you will be notified of total cost and when they are available for pickup.
