CHECK PRESENTATION

 

Pictured above: Past Presidents Tim and Shannon Seifert present a $500 check to Stacy Silva from the Santa Barbara County Animal Shelter.  The money will help to provide services to pet owners, and those wanting to adopt pets.  They also provide free services for the animals of veterans.

• Frank Ortiz requested that we set-up a Meal Train for Kate Ferguson, who is recovering from shoulder surgery.  She is always in charge of Meal Trains for others in need, so we need to “pay it forward”.
• Kristin Mollenkopf reminded us to stay after the meeting to discuss the Barn Party.
• President Laurie Tamura’s Step Down Party is this Sunday, June 25^th, starting at 11:45 at the Hitching Post.  Lee Carroll reminded us that you are billed for Step Down whether you come or not.

The Pediatric Closet from Marian Regional Medical Center provided our program.  Representing the Marian group were Kerin Mase, Susan Rasmussen, Candice Monge, and Lisa Ray.
 
The Pediatric Closet provides support to High risk infants; the smallest of the small and the sickest of the sick
 
They have served over 300 children since opening on October 11, 2016.  It’s fun to see who is utilizing the closet.  They take donations all the time.  A lot of Adult Support services come by and give donations.  Completely in patient.  During the winter they launched a coat drive “Baby its cold outside”.  They collected three bins of donations including, 34 new children's  coats and 50 Baby blankets.  Lakeview and Orcutt Jr. Highs’ Girls Basket Ball teams also collected stuffed animals. 
 
A check in the amount of $1,000 was given to the organization.
