At Shafer Elementary there is a K-Kids service organization that performs charitable and volunteer work throughout the community. The group has raked lawns for the elderly, sent cards to the troops, made bird feeders at a nursing home and participated in other community service projects. This year, our son, Austin Pasquel joined the K-Kids. As a way to involve more families, the K-kids and their leader, Miss Sheetz a teacher at Shafer, decided to become Saturday volunteers at the SPCA in Easton. Unfortunately, over the winter Austin developed serious pneumonia and asthma difficulties so we weren't allowed near allergen triggers, including animals. Since he was never able to walk the dogs and do the volunteer work at the shelter, he decided to sell lemonade at a yard sale we held recently. He did an amazing job sitting all day selling his lemonade for 25 cents. Many people were supportive of the cause and we thank them for coming out. This week Austin will be visiting the SPCA, also known as the Center for Animal Health and Welfare, to present them with a check for $24.80!
