This year our Board of Directors has approved a $250.00 donation to assist underprivileged children who attend
Oakstead Elementary School in our area with some Christmas gifts. Van Bradley will be donating the proceeds of
the Bus to the Feb. Nude Cruise and we are asking Lake Como residents and members to also help Pasco County
school ABC (Assist, Believe and Care) program that identifies underprivileged children that we can assist with
gifts of clothing and shoes at this Christmas season. 100% of the money donated goes to purchasing gifts of clothing
and shoes to the underprivileged children in our area.
Our office will accept all donations until December 1, 2015 to further help our local children in need. Please
drop off your check payable to Lake Como with a notation of “Pasco School Children”. We want to send a donation
check from our members on December 10, 2014
Please remember that we have many needy children in our area and we can make a difference in their lives over
this Christmas Holiday. Feel free to call me with any questions @ 813-477-2219
Merry Christmas,
Van Bradley

to have fun playing your own ukulele with a bunch of
your friends. An organizational meeting will be held
