You will be receiving an email from FACTS within the next couple of weeks with an explanation for you to complete this process.  Please take care of this as soon as you receive the email so that your July payment will not be delayed.  Thank you.

 

Used Uniforms

Next year only the new logo with the small emblem will be the only sweatshirt design allowed. We have a large inventory of old used sweatshirts that we would love to donate. If anyone has a suggestion or a contact of an organization where we could donate the sweatshirts that would be wonderful. Please contact Kerry Wyman if you have any ideas.
