Additionally, the following list of items is needed to enhance the setting for VBS.  If you have any of these and would be willing for us to use them during the VBS week, please put your name by the item on the “VBS Scene Equipment” poster in Burgamy. The list:  fiber optic lamps, lava lamps, rope lights, sheets of bubble wrap, Lab coats, microscopes, lab test stuff like beakers or test tubes, bubble making machine, cardboard tubes (paper towel size or larger), Aquarium (about 5 gallon size), one bowling ball -13 or more pounds, one bowling ball - 8 or less pounds, arm sling, beach towels. We need these items by May 17 and they will be returned June 15.  Every effort will be made to return them to you in good condition.  Thank you for helping make VBS a blast.
