Little Lakes Educational Achievement Foundation to hold raffle/auction to fund school grants
Summary
During public comment, Isabel Cervantes said the Little Lakes Educational Achievement Foundation will hold a 'quartermania' fundraiser on Sept. 26 (start 4:30 p.m.) to support grants for district students; last year the foundation awarded about $53,000 in grants.
At the public-comment portion of the meeting, Isabel Cervantes represented the Little Lakes Educational Achievement Foundation and outlined a series of fundraisers to support students in the Little Lake School District.
"We are going to be having a quarter mania," Cervantes said, describing plans for a quilt raffle or auction and noting the group has previously started auctions at about $600 and raised as much as $2,000 for individual quilts. Cervantes said the foundation awarded "a little over than $53,000" in grants last year and that combined fundraising from three events is hoped to approach $60,000.
Cervantes named September 26 as the quartermania date and said the event will begin at 4:30 and run into the evening. She encouraged community participation and thanked district supporters. The council did not take action on the request; the presentation was informational and intended to help the foundation with outreach.
