27 served at Village Laundromat for our latest Loads of Change

Poulsbo Lions spent $414 (we had $180 in Lions' donations plus $9 from a neighbor) paying for laundry Sept. 18 during our Loads of Change service project at the Village Laundromat.

We served 27 people, washing 100 loads and drying 62. Loads were calculated like this - large washer = 3 small loads; medium washer = 2 small loads; and of course the small washer is one load.

Many thanks to Ray and Ria McMahon, Terry Blais, Dennis Tesch, Lee Metcalf, Linda Prine and Gretchen Dunmire for volunteering their time to feed quarters into the machines, and help clients with laundry detergent and fabric softener.
