Richard Paff of California is undertaking an ambitious project:
To add a roof and a formal stage area to the school basketball
court. This would be valuable, because it would make it possible
to schedule graduations, concerts, and community celebrations
without the threat of last-minute rains. The total cost of the
project will be about $26,000. He plans to raise funds by travel-
ing all of the 48 states, and shoot a basket in each state.
Sponsors will pledge an amount for each basket made!

CHRISTMAS BASKETS It is a tradition to provide a Christmas basket for each child and family at the school. These baskets contain a gift for each child, plus needed food staples for the families. The distribution is preceeded by a Christmas party in the morning for all of the children of the school. These gifts go to all of the children of the school, not just those who are sponsored.
