2017 Fundraiser
In 2017, our Holiday Party and Fundraiser was held on Wednesday, December 13th. All of the proceeds from our Raffle were donated to the teacher’s union in Puerto Rico, the Asociación de Maestros de Puerto Rico (AMPR). Thanks to Liz Miller for all her time and efforts in organizing our Holiday Raffle and Fundraiser.
Due to the success of our Fundraiser, we were able to send a check to the AMPR for $2000. Below you can find the wonderful Thank You note they sent to us - once in the original Spanish and the translation into English (thanks to our Secretary Alba Endicott).
