LMPS had to cancel plans for its Memorial Day
Weekend activities and replaced it the following weekend on 3 June with a
Ramp It Up Wine &
Dine fundraiser to help repair the ramp at Flotilla Island.
Thirty
members
gathered on the deck of our building at Flotilla to enjoy a
Wine & Cheese Tasting,
followed by a dinner of Spaghetti Bolognese overlooking scenic Lake
Murray. In addition to the fabulous dinner and dessert, LMPS Photographer
Dr. Joe snapped photos of the couples enjoying our Italian fest.
If you were unable
to make this event, please consider helping LMPS reach our goal to repair
the ramp. $1,550 was raised at our Wine & Dine event, bringing our current
total to $4,179 toward the $13,500 project cost.
In addition to
members' personal use, the ramp is utilized for the LMPS Thornwell
Children's Day community outreach event, as well as providing accessibility
for Lake Murray Search, Rescue and Recovery efforts by emergency responders
-- all of which are important reasons for LMPS to make this fund-raising
effort a success!
There
will be other fund-raising events announced, or if you would like to donate
to the RAMP IT UP fund, contact a LMPS
Bridge member. Remember your donation to a 501(c)(3) organization like LMPS
is tax deductible.
Also, we're participating in Amazon Smile, in other words, use Amazon Smile
when ordering online and assign the automatic donation to USPS and the LMPS
Ramp It Up fund will grow
