Be sure to check out this amazing new sign in Downtown, located on the North wall of TuLayne's. This mural was made possible by a generous donation to CFofRB, resulting from a fund raiser sponsored by Justine and Terry Liefer, Winnie and Carl Rehmer and Judy and Don Horrell. Thanks to them and all who supported this fund raiser.
