We are also looking for mini 8oz. bottles of water to help with our event. If you are willing to make or purchase cookies, brownies or buy small bottles of water we will be taking donations in the Tri-Valley High School Office next Thursday (Feb. 6th) and Friday (Feb. 7th) from 8am-4pm. We will also take donations on Saturday morning (Feb. 8th) from 9am-10am. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide to make these two events a success!!
