Free to talk Goldilocks?

Because [FIA]* would like YOU to KNOW about the Balikbayan Box project!!!

So we are collecting ANY and all school supplies in a box located in AARCC! So if you have any unused, fresh supplies to spare, PLEASE DONATE! Each item is worth a certain amount of points, and whoever gets the most points once MAFA rolls around gets a $100 grant for PEC!
