Thank you, Foothill Lions, for all your work (and delicious food) at this year’s Fairgrounds Foundation’s Cioppino and Pasta Feed. The event is a success because of all of you – and we appreciate you!
Part of the Fairgrounds’ team spent the morning at Folsom State Prison with members of the Foothill Lions Club visiting the “Folsom Project for the Visually Impaired,” a project that offers services to the visually impaired and helps rehabilitate inmates at Folsom Prison. Since its Inception, 3 million pairs of glasses have been donated and distributed in the US and across the globe. A huge thank you to our local Lions Club for inviting us and for all their work (and our local community’s donations) to this partnership!
Wow – what a giving community! At Monday’s Community Involvement Day at the Fairgrounds, 95 blood donors were registered and 83 pints of life saving blood were collected for BloodSource; more than 750 books were collected for Story Club; 2,250 pounds of food were donated to the Food Bank; school supplies were collected for Nevada County 211; cleaning supplies, toiletries, clothing, and gift cards were collected for Domestic Violence Coalition; $750 of crafts were donated to NEO; and 530 prescription eye glasses and 10 hearing aids were donated to Foothill Lions.
