cameras in the same condition as received.
However, please provide the replacement

does happen to it. If you have a camera to
loan, please drop it off at the school office or
church office, and note that it is for Beth
Hazen, Art Department.

to make the ministry of VLHS possible for
students who might not otherwise be able to
attend. Entry fee of $110 per golfer includes
18 holes of golf, cart, continental breakfast,
and a buffet lunch – plus, you are supporting
a great school! Sponsorship opportunities are
