Raffle of Collectible Doll as Benefit

The handmade porcelain doll is from the estate of Shirley Ford, donated by Mr. John Ford, to benefit the Senior Center.

Before the final firing, she hand painted them with color glazes and finished with a soft, stuffed body.

 One ticket is $2, 3 for $5. The drawing will be April 3.

 The doll is on display during open hours of the Center in the front hall.
