HAPPY FEET IS HAPPENING ON 3/27 - VOLUNTEERS ARE NEEDED
HAPPY FEET IS HAPPENING ON MARCH 27, 7AM to 10:30AM AT MC RILEY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.
Kids need shoes pandemic or no pandemic. The Service Projects Committee worked to bring a plan together and coordinated with area school counselors
so that our club can safely host Happy Feet. This will be for kids from MC Riley, Red Cedar and Bluffton Elementary Schools.
The plan is to distribute the shoes to kids via a car pool line. We will have their shoe sizes in advance so the kids and parents will be able to remain in their cars. Tables will be set up outside by the front entrance to MC Riley Elementary School. School volunteers will be "runners" taking shoes from the display tables to the cars. For everyone's safety, masks will be required and hand sanitizer will be available.
