Spirit Night – Help raise money for Boone Tree

January 14th, 2010

Do you want to help Boone Tree make some money?  Come join us for Spirit Night on January 28, 2010 at the Chick-Fil-A on East Stone Drive in Kingsport.  We need 2-4 people per hour from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. to clear tables and get refills.  You can even wear the cow costume!!!

Even if you cannot be there, please distribute the flyers to everyone you know and encourage them to come to the Chick-Fil-A.  When they present the flyer, Boone Tree will get 15% of the proceeds of the sale.  (Don’t worry that the flyers say Sullivan County Public Library – Theresa will make sure that the money gets to Boone Tree.)

Please contact Virginia Salmon at vlsalmon@northeaststate.edu or Theresa McMahan at tmcmahan@wrlibrary.org if you can help out.  Remember, this event will help out Boone Tree.
