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 />
