Newfoundland Sock Fundraiser

Dear JFW

We’re coming to camp!   

Families from Junior Forest Wardens St. John’s East Club are really excited, and can’t wait to pitch in at National Camp.  There are seven of us coming – Jack (9), Lucy (13), Owen (16), Kate (18) along with Kim, Finn, and John. 

It’s a long way and a big deal, and we’re selling socks to help raise money to get us there.  

These wicked popular socks are a special order with free shipping so CLICK HERE for more info and get yours before the June 19th deadline!

Looking forward to meeting you!   We’re coming soon.
