Calling all BFCS families and friends……
Does anyone know of a local DJ who may be able to work our Fall Festival on Saturday November 1st?
We are looking for someone who can play some catchy tunes and make some announcements – from 1pm-4pm on the day.

We are a registered charity so any donated time could be fully tax deductible and we could put more money towards the Save for Shade Campaign – just a thought!

Save for She Campaign 2014-2015

Any contact info would be greatly appreciated – thank you!
