Fundraiser Update / Save the Date

Thankfully, another 4th of July is behind us and we are finished with the fireworks stand for another year. We deeply appreciate the unprecedented number of volunteers who helped out this year, especially at 6:00 a.m. on opening day. Our sales were slightly higher than last year but still down considerably from a couple of years ago. Nevertheless, we should be able to provide in excess of $13,00o in teacher grants this years. Once again, many thanks to all of you who helped and patronized our stand.

***SAVE THE DATE***SAVE THE DATE***

The first Lakewood Education Foundation Golf Tournament will be held Monday, October 13, 2008 (Columbus Day) at Lakewood County Club. Tee time will be about 7:30 a.m. and the cost per player will be $100. We already have several sponsors including Supervisor Don Knabe, Lakewood Center Mall, and EDCO Waste Disposal.

We will need volunteers to help prepare for the event, workers the day of the tournament, and, most importantly, golfers. If you golf or know anyone who does, please plan on participating. A planning meeting for volunteers will be announced once the flyers are printed....probably within a couple of weeks.

Remember, all donations to the Lakewood Education Foundation are tax deductible and proceeds will support teacher, school, and student grant programs.
