VOE Celebration Breakfast & Upcoming Fundraisers
This has been a busy month with our Second Annual Celebration Event held at the Hampton Inn on April 13th. There were 55 people in attendance which included four speakers who benefited from our help. These speakers were Brenda Tigar, Ken Ruppert, Marci Bossard, and Debra Requena who all gave inspirational messages. Other speakers included State Representative Marcia Hahn, Assistant Superintendent Michael Roth and Mayor Luke Duignam from Tatamy. Contributions from those who attended and from many who were unable to attend will enable us to continue to help those in need in the Nazareth Area School District. Since the beginning of 2012, our care giving has exceeded $15,000!
The upcoming month of May will feature three events that will benefit our care giving.
On May 4th and 5th the Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church will hold a Rummage Sale to benefit V.O.E. There will be many good values, especially in infant and children’s clothing. On Friday evening it will be held from 5:00 pm until 8:00 pm and on Saturday from 8:00 am until 2:00 pm.
On May 5th we will be at the Adult Soapbox Derby in Nazareth on Prospect Street. We will be serving the best hot dogs and snow cones in Nazareth near the finish line at Prospect and Green Streets. We will also benefit from this sponsoring organization.
On May 12th we will be holding our own Walk-A-Thon at the Nazareth Middle School Track located between the rear of the High School and the Middle School. We will start registration at 9:30 am. For a $10.00 donation people of all ages can walk the track for as many laps as they want, at their own speed, up until noon. Join us for a brisk morning walk for exercise and camaraderie. We hope to see you there for a fun time and a FREE V.O.E. t-shirt!
