Help the Salem High School Sports Booster Club Raise $6,000

The Salem Community High School Sports  Booster Club has the opportunity to raise $6,000 this Saturday for school organizations.   The Ford Motor Company will pay the Booster Club $20 from every ten-minute test drive taken. That means if 300 test drives are taken, $6,000 will be donated. 

 

The test drives will be taken from the front circle drive in front of Salem Community High School from eight to four on Saturday.  Call Joe Hotze Ford at (618) 548-1711 to sign up or show up at the school.  Drivers must be at least 18 years old and have a valid drivers license.
