Y.E.S.

Youth Equipped for Success, a Spirit Lake youth center, held an open house/breakfast on Valentine's Day which was a success ... especially their bake sale of decorated cookies made by the kids, which raised $265. In the fundraising arena, where thousands of dollars are raised during gala events, it's good to remember that there are many smaller organizations providing valuable services in our rural communities. After-school tutoring and a safe, positive place for young people to connect, Y.E.S. gets a big thumbs up!

Chocolate & Champagne

The Windermere Foundation held a Chocolate and Champagne evening on Friday night after work at their Northwest Blvd. office. Well over 100 attendees paid $5 for all the chocolate and champagne/wine they could consume. There were raffle tickets sold for a number of great prizes and a silent auction of about a dozen baskets, trips and misc. items.The event benefits the Winderemere Foundation's annual Boots and Socks drive which provides shoes and socks to local children. Pictured are Midge Smock, Nancy Johnson, Vicky Houle and Loretta Reed, who organized the fun-filled affair. *This fundraising event appeared on the North Idaho Community Charitable Events Calendar!
