Raffle Raises Support for Kent Junior Mothers
Event covers costs of volunteer group's annual Safety School
Members of Kent Junior Mothers and other Kent residents gathered Saturday for a night of fun — and fundraising.
The Kent Junior Mothers 5th Annual Reverse Raffle, held at the Rusty Nail, raised money for the volunteer group's efforts to operate Safety School for incoming kindergarteners at Kent City Schools.
Aside from Safety School, the 66-year-old organization conducts other volunteer efforts throughout the year, including creating and delivering Easter baskets to Kent Social Services, clearing trash and plant debris at Plum Creek Park and providing refreshments at the annual Festival of Lights.
If you are a Kent mom and want to make a difference, have fun and meet other moms in Kent, contact Beth Robb for more information on membership at schmidtrobb@yahoo.com or 330-472-5565

I attended Safety School when I was 5. I was a volunteer from age 10 to 16. I'm an adult with my own child now. I am deaf, blind and physically impaired. If you plan to do any disability awareness, I'd be happy to participate.
