At-Risk Youth Art classes in 2010!

Food 4 Less & using your Ralphs &
Food 4 Less Cards for AOA, your

as your charity of choice, and
your wonderful donations) has brought Smiles
to the faces of these children—Thank YOU

Children who want to go to class are being turned away—                      

because we lack the money to give them their classes?
