Donations to Rutledge Activities
As stated in our annual appeal letter, the Rutledge Activities Committee's goal is to plan fun, family friendly events throughout the year. Events like Happy Hours, Halloween Grow and Glow, Tree Lighting, Luminaries, Bingo Night, Snow Jam, Spring Celebration, Earth Day, 4th of July and others. These events are funded entirely through your generous donations and this year is no different. While we realize there has been an increase in the cost of living, our donations seem to have taken a hit this year as well. Thus, if you can, please make a donation to the Rutledge Activities Committee. It is tax-deductible and a great way to support your community.
