Our <br />goal is to raise as much <br />money as we can to help build <br />the club. Daryl Thompson, <br />president of the Elk River <br />Boys and Girls Club has <br />promised to find us a business <br />that will match what we <br />raise, dollar for dollar, up to <br />Sx,ooo. <br /> We think this is a great <br /> <br />learning experience.
