One of our members at MFL is collecting non-perishable food items for the Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida. I know it is not a lot of notice but we will be collecting at our tournament Thursday. Something is better than nothing and MFL will be collecting from around our community to aid in this cause as well.
Thank You. See all of you Thursday.
