Did you see the striking black and silver flags at this past weekend's competition? A team of parents made 16 flags in just over 10 hours. The pleasure of seeing the excitement on the Color Guard girls' faces was the fulfillment of those volunteer hours. If you missed out, don't worry; more flag-making is scheduled for this week. Contact Linda Curtin at malrymom@verizon.net if you can spare even an hour this week to help with cutting, sewing or ironing. Ironing is the most time-consuming task -- anyone can iron, right? Join the fun!!!
