Connie's Coats for Christmas (Grand Prize 2 SW Airlines tickets)

I began Connie's Coats for Christmas in 2009 and since then have collected and donated 800 coats to needy families in the area.  This year's event will be held on Saturday, December 15th, from 10am to 1pm, in the Manassas Mall Food Court.


In addition to collecting coats and any other warm items for families, I will be raffling off the following prizes; raffle tickets are only $1.00 each; you do not need to be present to win:
