Ball Scores BIG as Fundraiser

The Frederick County (VA) Middle School Builders Club held a marathon Volley Ball Game after school from 3:30 to 8:00 PM as a fund raiser for Cystic Fibrosis. Over 50 persons participated including teachers, parents and of course club members. James Wood Key club also entered a team for the event. The Builders managed the concessions and ticket sales, but the bulk of the $1,042 raised came from Builders getting pledges from family and friends. This club had been on the inactive list the past year but is back and has a growing membership.
