BE A DRIVER AT THE PENNY DRIVE ON SEPTEMBER 11!It's time for our biggest fundraiser of the year! Our goal this year is to collect $4,000 in pennies from friends and neighbors around South Hadley. 

We need 10 more adult drivers to drive volunteers to an assigned route to collect pennies. A successful turn-out at this event will bring us half the way to reaching our financial commitment for the year! 

Call Elena Lamontagne at 896-6567 or email shmpa09@gmail.com to sign-up.
