KMS fundraiser

Nov. 19th at KMS Tools, Colwood - Lionesses Diana L and Ellen M at the barbecue. it was cold, but we had lots of generous customers. KMS management even brought us little handwarmers.

 

A new fundraising venture for our Lioness Club. KMS Tools in Colwood supplies the smokies, buns, pop and juice in front of their store, plus the tables, tent and of course the barbecue. We cook and serve the smokies for a few hours during the day, and earn any tips and donations we receive. Not a bad deal at all for us, and we really appreciate the opportunity that KMS gives us. We will be serving smokies at KMS again in February, 2011.

Remembrance Day, Nov. 11th - a privilege to serve the Veterans and residents who came for the parade and service at the Sooke Legion #54.
