No Printed Wishbook This Year
Because of challenging conditions this year, no sponsor was found for the printed version of the Wishbook this fall. Copies of the 2019-2020 publication are still available. There have been many updates to the information since the printed version was last produced in October 2019. However, if you or your group need copies for any reason, we can help. Send us an email at wishbook.roc@gmail.com, and we will get them to you.

Thanks to all who have donated items or volunteered their time to help a local charity.
