Spirit Wear Orders

Because it is a team effort, the workloads for this position are divided and won't just fall on one person. Any amount of time you can offer is much appreciated! Please reach out to Tiffani Rivers at waysandmeans@beverlypta.com to sign up and be a part of this committee, or if you have any question.
