Hey friends - Trinity is fundraising for 4H. Anyone have any empties they would like to donate?

If anyone has ever been involved with Dairy 4-H in Perth County then you know how dedicated the Pfister and Hall families are to this wonderdul organization. Please considering making a donation to help establish The Benjamin Pfister Award, a youth scholarship for a Perth County Dairy 4-H Member. Donations may be made by e-transfer to [email protected] or by cheque payable to The Benjamin Pfister Award In Trust. https://memorials.lockhartfuneralhome.com//4/obituary.php

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Marco and Ashley Pfister on the tragic loss of their 4 year old son Ben. He was killed in a farming accident over the weekend. We will be thinking of the Pfister and Hall families during this difficult time.

Hmmm what could you do with a $200.00 TSC gift card? Stop by and help support the best youth organization in the world in my estimation ~ building the leaders of tomorrow skill by skill !
