Murphy-Harpst Birthday Party
Thank you, CUC members, for your financial help toward expenses for a birthday party our class will host on March 16 at The Murphy-Harpst Children’s Center in Cedartown, GA. This is the only way six teenagers will celebrate their special days this month. We will supply party goods and Bingo prizes.
We have so far collected $611 for Murphy-Harpst. The money we collect will be used for the March birthday Party plus a contribution to the Murphy-Harpst Children’s Home. The collection basket will be passed around this coming Sunday also. Checks should be made out to CUC. In 2023 after deducting expenses for the Birthday party, CUC was able to give a donation to Murphy-Harpst in the amount of $1,000 last year. We would like to do this again in 2024. THANKS to those who have already sent money to the class treasurer.
