HOMELESS GRADUATING SENIORS By Doris Reisinger April 15 is Tax Day, and the last day to collect donations for these deserving students. We are still in need of donations of money or gift cards or domestic items. The Clubhouse and HFC have items listed on papers in both activity racks. No donation is too small. Your donations so far have proved your generosity. But the demand keeps growing as I write this. As Dr. Caba stated at Monday Coffee on March 4, "because of YOU these youths will SUCCEED!” Their graduation party will take place April 24th. Hopefully they will all leave with a laptop to start college, domestic items to help them through the summer and gift cards for food, and some scholarships if enough donations. Contact Doris at 217-652-6636 with questions stop by Monday Coffee through April 8. In closing, enjoy all your families parties for a true accomplishment of graduation. SHUFFLIN’ SQUARES HELP AREA HOMELESS HS SENIORS Keith Stevens (left) writes a check for $750 from Shufflin’ Squares Monday Coffee sales to Polk County Schools for the benefit of homeless High School seniors. Shufflin’ Squares has been contributing annually to this project for more than five years. A portion of the proceeds of Monday coffee sales goes to the project. Receiving the check are Vickie Griffis from the Polk County Schools and motivational speaker Dr. Julio Caba at Monday coffee on March 4. BLOODMOBILE A total of 13 units of blood was collected in February. Each blood donation can save up to three lives so that means 39 patients will benefit from blood donations by donors at Lake Ashton. Next date: April 15 in the Clubhouse West Parking Lot from 8:30 to 11 am. Home Instead® Care Professionals can provide the care needed to ensure your loved one returns home safely .
