SJCA Updates Vol. 97
Halloween is right around the corner! We know you have been busy with fall activities both at your organization and going with your friends and family.
But.....before you know it Mariah Carey will be singing in every store you go into getting you ready for the Holidays while you're buying Thanksgiving stuffing for your family dinner and craft supplies for your event that so happens to fall right before you are off for break.
You may also be on your 3rd latte and look a little frazzled...
Well, if you're driving by one of the area's we'll be in and have a few minutes, stop by and say hi!
