Hey, Uricka Harrison here.

Popcorn?

I am so glad you asked!!!

Support me as I represent the Virginia affiliate in  the double good popcorn
fund raiser with the National Federation of the Blind community services
committee.  The community services committee is a division of the National
Federation Of The Blind.  Our main purpose is to give back in to the
communities in which we live by volunteering and having various outreach
projects.   One reason that we raise money is to give scholarships.

  Ready! Set! Let's get into this oh so delicioso Double Goodness. Popcorn
so good you will for certain lick your fingers. Forget the others! Double
Good is guaranteed to get your taste buds ignited. Flavor bomb me please!!!
Don't let this savory buttery treat pop pass you.   Don't be one of those
kernels that doesn't pop otherwise you'll remain corny (HAHA).  The fire is
hot and ready! The pop-up stores will go live March 3-7 @ 12 pm. CSD is
working with gas no brakes, so watch out! 3, 2, 1 Let's pop this right out
the bag.  * Remember you can't have a fundraiser without the Fun. Click the
link and let's get poppin!
