    Fourth of July Tee Shirt Design Contest
    February 6, 2009 6:39 pm

    Calling all Lopez artists! Here’s your chance to create the design to be emblazoned on this year’s 4th of July run/walk tee shirt. Sponsored by the Lopez Lions Club, all proceeds from the race are distributed back to community causes. For several years Lopez School students have had the opportunity to create the tee shirt design seen on both on Lopez and as far away as Ethiopia. Race organizers believe that all Lopezians should now have a chance to enter the contest and show off their art. So grab a pencil or pen and create the winning design, win $50, and help in this major Lions Club fund raiser. For example, over just the past two years Lions Club donations have benefited 18 Lopez non profit organizations with more than $19,000. They include such diverse and worthwhile causes as the Lopez Island Family Resource Center, several Lopez School District projects, Substance Abuse Prevention, Vision Assistance, the Lopez Cemetery Association and the Community Shakespeare Company.

    BOSTON — Maybe we owe an apology to the doctors who made the birth announcement with such pride and excitement. The delivery of eight babies in five minutes was, they exhaled, “amazing.” The mom was “incredibly courageous.” All in all it was a “very exciting day,” a feat for which the 46-member medical team at the California hospital expected kudos and high fives.

    It is the time of year for Soroptimist club’s Saturday of Service project for the community. And, the Soroptimist International of Friday Harbor has come up with another great community event. This community recycling/swap meet will be Saturday morning, February 21, 2009 at the Mullis Center. Chairman Pat Hansen says “The premise of the event is that people will bring good, clean, functional items that they no longer need or want, and in exchange, they can take home other things that they do need or want.” So in these rough economic times, this event offers the opportunity to renew, refresh, recycle and exchange items and ideas in a pleasant social atmosphere.
