Kingston High robotics update

 

Where does some of the money we raise go? To robotics.

"On behalf of the Kingston High School Robotics Club, our foundation as well as all NK students and teachers we want to thank you for your continued support over the years," said Allison Pringle, Director of Donor Relations. "We appreciate your support of the robotics team as they were able to get the motors for their submarines so they can compete in a June robotics competition. I was able to join them at their club time and take some pictures. They are just in the beginning phases of their building but the excitement and energy was palatable!"

Look for an update later when the subs are complete.

 

 

Show up April 9 to get tulips for Easter, Mother's Day, etc.

 We have 800 pots of tulips available to sell! All proceeds benefit  different programs like Loads of Change, our Hooked on Fish event for kids, school robotics, Poulsbo Historical Society, etc., in the NK community. We'll be on Viking Avenue in front of Les Schwab from 10-4 Saturday, April 9, so come on down to buy some tulips to brighten up your yard or deck or to give as a Easter gift.

LERC receives 1,100 pairs from us

 

Lion Karl Ostheller drove 1,100 pairs of eyeglasses to the Lions Eyeglass Recycling Center (LERC) for processing. There, the glasses are sorted to determine those that are usable or unusable, processed, and placed in inventory for distribution to optical missions around the world. Lions help to minimize landfill waste by supporting precious metal reclamation and scrap processing for damaged glasses that are unusable.
