Basket Raffle Fun Night- Saturday, March 25th

Saturday, March 25th we will be hosting our final Fundraising Fun Night in conjunction with the Big Basket Raffle. We hope this will be a very successful fundraiser for Swift House. We need volunteers to help facilitate a fun evening for the K - 4 kids.

Click here to see the sign-up form. Please take a look at the many areas in which you and your student can volunteer & donate items. Add your name(s) in the designated spot to sign on. We could not pull this off without the wonderful support from all Swift families. Thank You!!

Special Interests Survey

Special tours are arranged through Senator Leahy's office long ahead of our arrival in Washington DC.  May of these tours require personal information, such as social security numbers, to be collected ahead of time.

Other tours require timed tickets which we can reserve 90 days in advance.  We will reserve the proper number of tickets based on the responses to this survey.

Please answer the questions below so that we will know whose personal information we need to collect for the trip to DC this coming June.
