In Need?

Rest in Peace Jason!

The Class of 1988 was able to make a generous donation to the Zachary Lyon Education Fund today through the generosity of many of you.

On behalf of Rhonda Reagan, Rose Mutzbauer, Stephanie Harris, Nicole Ralph, Carol Coniglio, Kip Baumann, Jon Grannis, Scott Julian, Paul Lewis and myself we would like to express our sincere gratitude for your donations!

We would also like you to know that if your family is in need, please ask this group for help. We truly do care about each of you and will be willing to help in any way possible. We hope to continue to come together to help fellow classmates in whatever capacity needed.

If you would like to be involved in this work as we move forward, please let us know!

I seem to be the mass communicator...but the credit goes to the entire group! I feel very blessed to be a part of it!
Thanks to you all,
Robyn
