Lions Club / Grocery Kart Shopping Spree
This year's Shopping Spree Raffle turned out to be a real bonanza for children who participate in the Bulldog Backpack program. Raffle winner Laura Schorer, Alliance High School Chemistry and Physics teacher, planned her spree to collect staples for Bulldog Backpacks. Prior to her two minute scramble Laura scouted the locations of the peanut butter and jelly and boxed breakfast cereals. This advance planning enabled her to collect $465 worth of items for the children.
Immediately after the spree, Laura donated her winnings to Cheryl Harris -- organizer of the Bulldog Backpack program.
#1: Laura tosses as much cereal into the basket as she can.
#2: Three of four baskets of food collected by Laura.
#3: Lion Wally bags the food while Lion Earl empties the carts. Grocery Kart manager, Becky Maser, does the checking.
#4: Bulldog Backpack organizer, Cheryl Harris, winner, Laura Schorer, and Lions Club President, Calvin Tolstedt.
Other winners included Ross Oyler who won a $50 gift certificate and Rayann Tolstedt who won a turkey.
