Assistance League<br />
by Sloan Gallipeo<br />
Fund raiser update: Save the date<br />
for 2013. We are going to have our fund<br />
raiser luncheon, silent auction and live<br />
auction at the Hyatt Huntington Beach<br />
on Saturday, April 6, 2013.<br />
Program spotlight: It is back to<br />
school time now and we are gearing up<br />
to help clothe school children in need<br />
through our program Operation School<br />
Bell. Starting in <strong>October</strong> we will have<br />
a series of special shopping nights at<br />
Target where elementary and middle<br />
school children referred by the schools in<br />
Huntington Beach, Fountain Valley, and<br />
Westminster will come to shop for new<br />
school clothes and also receive a Payless<br />
shoe card for a pair of new shoes. We<br />
were able to help clothe over 1,300 school<br />
children last year.<br />
