The Backpack Program would like to extend a huge Thank You to the Evanston Red Devils volleyball team, Coaches Lawlar, Peterson, Freeland and Harold, parents and Angie Fitch for the wonderful, generous gift.

As many of you know, I (Lee Parker), took on a personal challenge to see if I could get $2000 in donations to help with the Friday half days in the schools. The kids don't get lunch on those days so we wanted to send lunch with them to eat when they got home. We not only made it, but exceeded it!! I would personally thank the following for donating to the quest!! Joan Williams, Kelli Furniss, Cody & Tera Lawlar, Amy Kelly, Marsha and Ian Redding dba Spanky's, Sharon Quillinan, Johnelle Homer, Sidney McCrimmon dba Romco, Josh and Tammy Walker, Sherydon Stuart, Loretta Howieson, Adrianna Piernick, Dustin Matthews dba Medicine Butte Computer Services, Diane Taggart in memory of Edna Wilson, Dr. Morgan Arrowhead Dental, Tammy Halliday, Cindy Wasson dba Rockey Wasson Consulting, and Jamie Bowns. Thank you all so very much!!!
