Neighbors,<br>Our local schools, Powell and Conn, are short on school supplies for students in need. Following are items needed at each school. Please consider spending a few dollars--or digging through your own office supplies--to help out our neighborhood children. As we all know, it has been a hard year for many families, and school supplies can easily cost $100 per child. <br>

<br>You can either bring the supplies to the office at either school or drop them at my house (1114 Brighton Rd.) with a note about which school you intended them for (if it matters). I will make a trip by each school next week to deliver what neighbors purchase and we collect. <br>

<br>You could also PayPal me funds at this email address, to purchase supplies on your behalf when I go to the store. (Please copy East CAC chair Mark Turner <a href="mailto:cac-chair@eastraleigh.org">cac-chair@eastraleigh.org</a> on your email if you are donating money, to avoid any uncomfortable situations.) <br>

<br>I would like to have our donations and donated supplies to the schools by the end of this week (Friday). Please forward this email to your own neighborhood email lists, if they are not copied, as well as any friends/neighbors who may be interested.<br>
