Field Trips in February
Florida State Fair Sunday the 8th
we will meet at Gate number (2) to the West of Cracker Country at 8:45
It has been suggested that we get a new projector but the cost is too much for us to do at this time. If you would like to make a contribution we need to raise more than 1500 dollars before we can invest in a better system than we currently have.
Thanks for your support.
