Caring for Kids: Happy Hearts Dinner Auction
By: Diane Formoso
Caring for Kids
works on a daily basis to help our kids in need in Clover Park School District.
We are an all-volunteer organization providing free clothing, school supplies,
hygiene products, food, books, and holiday gifts. Unfortunately this year the
City of Lakewood has cut $12,000 from our Ready to Learn Fair Grant. Last year
during the three RTL Fair events we helped 2,801 kids with backpacks, school
supplies, hygiene products and a host of other amenities.
Our major
fundraiser the Happy Hearts Dinner Auction is on February 9th at the
McGavick Center at Clover Park Technical College. Tickets are only $35.00. We
are asking for your help by encouraging everyone you know to attend the auction.
Please invite friends, family and staff so we can fill the McGavick Center with
500 people. We are also asking for help with donations of live and silent
auction items. Order your tickets now! This year’s auction is more important
than ever!
Please contact
Diane for more information 279-9777 or carekids@comcast.net
Besides our everyday work
this is the additional fundraising and events we held to help our kids in
November and December:
· On November
10th we held our annual Stuff the Bus at Clover Park High School. For
six hours we had fifty enthusiastic high school students along with the adults
stand outside encouraging the community to support Caring for Kids by donating
toys and cash for the Holiday Fair.
· We sold 1,130 poinsettias
to help defray the cost of the Holiday Fair. The poinsettias were delivered to
us on December 4th. With the help of Adam Hedren we delivered almost
all the plants in a day and a half.
· Friday the 7th
we set up for the Holiday Fair with the Fair being on the 8th.
Approximately 150 kids and adults volunteered to make the Fair a success helping
over 2,000 kids in need and their families.
· Our new project is
collecting color books and crayons to be distributed at the food bank and the
food truck. We collected over 1,000 sets. Seven hundred and fifty were
delivered to the Fish Food Bank. On the 23rd we were committed to
handing out small gifts, books, color books and crayons at the Food Connection
Truck in Springbrook. This is our fourth year. We also handed out stockings at
the Methodist Church dinner at the food bank.

Meeting in Feb!

Hello Zone Chairs!
For our February 6 Zone meeting the theme is "JOKEFEST". Please ask your
King Lions (or any other member who will be attending in their place) to bring
their favorite short joke to share with the other members. It can be on any
subject as long as it is short (no more than 2 minutes) and appropriate for the
setting.
You will be called upon to recite your joke so practice it
beforehand!
We at Lacey Lamplighters are looking forward to seeing as many members from
all zones as possible. The area in the restaurant where we will be meeting will
hold 50 people comfortably. they have a great menu to choose from so come
hungry.
See you there!

Judging of 2011-2012 Lions South Sound Essay Contest
Fellow
Lions:
This letter
is to inform all the Lions Clubs in C-2, C-6 and North Mason Lions Club (C-4)
that the judging for the 2012-2013 Lions South Sound Essay Contest will take
place on Saturday, January 5, 2013 at the Olympics West Retirement
Apartments in Tumwater. A continental breakfast will be available at 8:30
A.M. Judging will commence around 9:00 A.M and conclude around 1:00 P.M.
Even though
the school you sponsored this year did not participate, you are requested to
encourage your members to take part of the judging process. This will be the
24TH year of this successful program.
Twenty Youth
Exchange applications were received for the Essay contest and
sixteen essay’s were received for judging.
The following
schools were represented with essay candidates:
Olympia H. S.
(3)
Shelton H. S.
(2)
Tenino H. S.
(2)
North
Thurston H. S. (1)
North Mason
H. S. (1)
Timberline H.
S. (6)
Rainier H. S.
(1)
It is
difficult to understand why some schools were not represented. The only
scenario I can rationalize is that the program was not promoted adequately
within the other schools.
The first
place winner will receive an expense paid trip to the country of their choice,
during the summer and stay with at least two host families for four to six
weeks.
The second
place winner will receive a $150 GIFT CARD and the third place winner will
receive a $100 GIFT CARD.
If you have
any questions, please call me at (360) 427-1964 or our Co-chairperson, Bob
