First Book Babysitting Fundraiser

Love playing with kids? Come help us Saturday, December 5th as we provide babysitting to faculty children so their parents can get out of the house for an afternoon of Christmas Shopping! The afternoon will be filled with games, crafts, snacks, and a Christmas movie. Parents will be encouraged to make donations to First Book, so that we can grant out more funds for books in the Spring Semester. Please come join us for a fun-filled afternoon!
