Have a project that needs monetary support? Ask Sara to help
you! Sara has a way that makes you full of enjoyment as you empty
your pockets to support meaningful projects such as kids to go to camp
and raising funds to support the Delaware Memorial Fund.
Twelve years ago while traveling along the byways and highways Sara
looked out and said, “Those fields of flowers also brought the birds
and butterflies dancing close to me. Like the delicate petals,
their wings carried my imagination to places only visible to the mind’s
eye of a child”.
Let’s have fun working and enjoy times of friendship as we play along
with Sa-rah!
