Would you like ten (10) free raffle tickets? Well, for those of you who do not know, we have been making “welcome bags” for families that we learn of, who have just delivered or adopted a baby born with Down Syndrome. So we would like to include you, by asking if you can bring a BRAND NEW BABY BLANKET, with you to the Beef and Beer. For helping us help other families, we will give you these free tickets for a chance to win some of our great baskets!
This year to give back to our T21 parents, we will be giving a free ticket to our tickets to our Vacation drawing for those of you who attended our beef and beer last year and attend this years beef and beer, just as a small token of thanks!  I have attached a flyer so please share with your friends and families so you can get a table or three 🙂
