"It's the first time we have worked together.

Both groups are great PTAs with lots of volunteers looking to help."This fundraiser is a very important event and we want it to be a success."Hopefully as many adults as possible come along and join us at Airdrie Working Men's Club." Magnificent music and raffles with some very appealing prizes await guests at the Airdrie schools' PTAs' joint event later this month.
