TWO WAYS TO SAVE
Are you a student or otherwise feeling the crunch this year?

 If so FCCM has a payment plan. Members can pay only $25 each quarter over two years or $50 each quarter over one year.

When the store opens you will enjoy most of the benefits of full membership as long as your payments are current.


Voting privileges and the corporate rate
for fuel at Sourdough Fuel are reserved for fully paid members.

Greetings!

This year's dessert auction is going to be an extravagant affair with musical guests, chefs, a no host bar and more fun than you can shake a stick at!

Rumor has it there may even be a special "celebrity chef" guest appearance.

We could use more desserts!  If you want to get on the list to donate a dessert email Sharon.

Our website is now back up! If anyone experienced difficulty reaching us last week the kinks have now been ironed out.

Our telephone will be connected by Thursday, November 12 so if you have any questions or suggestions you can call 457-1023. Office hours are 1 to 5 pm Tuesday through Friday.
