We wanted to thank you for helping us with the Barber’s Roundup.

Collectively, we were able to help 358 children in the area with backpacks, school supplies and haircuts. A few parents were able to get their haircuts, too.

A special thanks to all the barbers and beauticians who came to cut hair endlessly.

Thank you, Sylvan, for coming, helping and sharing information about your programs.

We cannot express our thanks enough to all of you for helping with the children and parents in this area, allowing the kids to have a beautiful first day back to school.

It already has been decided we will have next year’s Barber’s Roundup at the SuperMall Walmart parking lot, so we will be able to reach more children who need help with school supplies. Set aside Aug. 31, 2012 from noon until supplies are depleted.

Again, thank you, and God bless.
