Congratulations to Mack & Darby who generously raised money for their local CFA.  The boys took time out of their day while on their camping holiday to make beautiful friendship bracelets.  Mack & Darby then sold these one of a kind bracelets to raise nearly $50.  

Together they have displayed extreme kindness, charity and iniative.  They are very proud of themselves for making a wonderful contribution to a great cause.  The boys were also published in the local newspaper for their generosity.

Well done Mack & Darby!!
