Fireworks donations

The West Alexandria Celebration Committee is asking for donations to help with the annual July 4th fireworks display. Donations can be made at Twin Valley Bank under Celebration Committee, or by purchasing from our fundraisers. As everyone can imagine the price has gone up, so we need and appreciate your help.

Another way to help raise money for fireworks and find your new, favorite Scentsy items is to explore the shoppable online Scentsy catalog with Ashley Wilson, at 937-733-2664, [email protected] or ashleyw22.scentsy.us. A Norwex fundraiser will donate 35 percent of sales commission to the WA Celebration Committee Fireworks. Norwex is household cleaning and personal care products that improve the quality of life by radically reducing the use of chemicals.
