We are going to have the students make out thank you notes for people/businesses that donated and those that attended. The notes will include their thoughts on what the money means to them and their education.
· Quality Car Wash Vouchers- Tom Smolinkski reported that we will be having the sale right after spring break (April 10-24, 2018). They will have cards printed off with the ZQuest logo. We will distribute those. When the card is used when purchasing a carwash, a portion of that transaction will be donated to ZQuest. The cards can be used to purchase multiple vouchers but must be purchased within those 2 weeks.
