Brown County “Pair and Spare”Did you know that new socks and underwear are among the most requested and least donated items at thrifts stores? When faced with a limited budget that must go for food, shelter, or medicine, socks and underwear are last on the list for those in need. In response to this need, there is an initiative occurring in Brown County “Pair and Spare” to encourage donation of these items to be distributed to families in need. The Green Bay Area Schools are participating in this effort and our families will receive a large quantity of the donated items. Please consider donating to this cause to support families at Preble. Donation boxes are located in the library and the main office.

Remember Sting cancer members:
Today’s meeting is so important as the Jerry Parins and the Green Bay Packers will highlight our meeting by presenting a generous donation to our group. Any and all people from the Preble community are welcome to come to the LMC after school today to see Jerry and the Packers present the Sting Cancer group with a gift that will allow us to help so many more people throughout the greater Green Bay Community.

Hope to see everyone after school.
