At Wash Perk

EWB, Engineers Without Borders – Mon, May 17
7:00pm – 8:30pm at  Wash Perk

SWIMSUIT DRIVE!!!!

We are hosting a swimsuit drive for Cole Arts and Science Academy’s Camp HERO, a free summer camp for upcoming 1st through 8th grade students in the surrounding community.  Camp HERO is an educational summer camp focusing on the arts, leadership, technology and literacy. All youth will be able to participate in engaging activities, including a weekly trip to Curtis Park’s swimming pool. The pool requires proper swimwear; unfortunately, most of these students have ill-fitted suits or none at all.

We are asking the community to come together and donate swimwear and towels to benefit our youth in need.   There will be a box located at Wash Perk through Sunday, June 6th.  We are asking for new swimwear that will fit children ages 7 through 14.   One piece suits for girls and trunks with mesh linings for boys are preferable.

This summer opportunity may be the very thing that changes a child’s life.  We thank you for being a part of making it happen!

AS AN ADDED BONUS, IF YOU DONATE A SWIMSUIT, YOU WILL RECEIVE A FREE BEVERAGE FROM WASH PERK!


RELAY FOR LIFE

WASH PERK TEAM for Relay for Life to benefit The Amercian Cancer Society.

You can sign up online and we’ll do several fundraisers in next couple of months; raising funds should not be a concern; we just want peeps on our team. WP will provide Team Hats. The Relay is Friday July 23rd into the morning of the 24th at South High School. We’ll set up a tent, hang out, take turns on track, and of course provide great coffee:) for more info: www.washparkrelay.com

Please go to the website to sign up to be on our team, Wash Perk Peeps.

but the expression of our collective will…
As voters & volunteers, we will support leaders who work toward positive solutions,
and hold accountable those who obstruct them. – CIVILITY PLEDGE


According to the Coffee Party’s Twitter page, the coffee party is  an alternative to the Tea Party, for Americans who wish to participate in the democratic process but prefer to do so in a reality-based,
solutions-oriented way.
