Clear clutter and support a neighborhood school — the Lakewood Elementary spring carnival committee is looking for new and gently used items for an upcoming silent auction—they suggest donating unused Christmas gifts/gift cards (hey, if you haven’t used it yet, you’re probably not going to use it), or unused athletic equipment, games and the like. (That stair stepper that you use to hang your wet laundry on? Yeah, that’s the one.) Drop your items off in the “Christmas Collection” box at the school lobby, or for more info, contact Michele Matney at michele.matney@sbcglobal.net.
