Send it to: franklindragonnews@gmail.com All submissions must be received by 5PM Friday. Microsoft Word is the preferred format for any submissions. Thank you again for your participation in the new winter fundraiser! We received such positive feedback! Families were very impressed by the sizes of the wreaths, and the quality of all the items. The poinsettias were larger and fresher than anyone I imagined! Although the profit seems small at $327.50, it was a big success for us as a brand new fundraiser! Also, because it was new, please feel free to me at hlfwatters@gmail.com for any questions or feedback. It's greatly appreciated! Franklin Dragon 1
