Hate wrapping presents? Not sure how to wrap that weirdly shaped gift? Tired of fighting with the scotch tape?
The Cory-Rawson Impressions will hold a gift wrapping fundraiser in the new cafeteria at Cory-Rawson Elementary School from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 20.
They also encourage parents to bring their children along, because they'll have Christmas movies playing in the choir room while the gifts are being wrapped.
There is no charge for gift wrapping, but donations would be extremely appreciated.
