Plans underway for drug-free party

Parents are already planning for the "Class of 2003 Drug and Alcohol Free Graduation Party" -- and they need some help.

A planning committee meeting has been scheduled for Wednesday, March 5 at 5 p.m. in the Sisters High School Library. Anyone interested is invited to attend.

The party is an annual event enjoyed by the seniors the evening of graduation. This year the party will be at the Sun Mountain Fun Center in Bend. The party is not funded by the school district and is only made possible through the generous support of parents and businesses throughout the Sisters and Bend area.

Donations are welcomed and can consist of merchandise, services, gift certificates or cash. The donations will be used as prizes and gifts for the Class of 2003.

A quilt made by Laura Simmons and quilted by Karin Hayden will be raffled off, with proceeds going towards the party. Tickets for the quilt are $1 each or six for $5. The quilt is on display at The Stitchin' Post and the drawing will be held June 7.

Ray's Food Place has agreed to donate 1 percent of total receipts gathered toward the event.

Receipts may be dropped off at the front office of Sisters High School.

Contributions may be sent to: Sisters High School, Drug/Alcohol Free Celebration, P.O. Box 3099, Sisters, OR 97759 or they can be dropped off at SHS at 15200 McKenzie Hwy. The organization's Federal Tax I.D. number is 93-6000398.
