Purim Carnival

The Purim Carnival was held on Sunday, March 4. I would like to thank Rabbi Barbara Symons, Brenda Salisbury, and Linda Jones who did an absolutely fantastic job coordinating the Purim Carnival. I would also like to thank everyone who shopped, schlepped, set up, cleaned up, planned, served, worked booths and worked the prize room for this event.
