Youth raises funds for Relay for Life

The Junior Division of the Ladies Ancient Order of Hibernian’s (LAOH), Golden Rose Queen Of Ireland undertook two service projects in 2009.

The Juniors focused on the “Keep Christ in Christmas” theme and sent Christmas cards and treat packages to U.S. military personnel.

The current Junior LAOH all occasion note card service project will continue in 2010. Members are hopeful that the community will support their effort to sell packages of note cards. The girls hand color three or more of the five note cards in each package they sell for a $5 donation to Relay for Life.

The group has committed to raise funds for the Mahoning County, Boardman, Ohio Cancer Society’s “Relay For Life.” They raised over $3,000 for Relay For Life and hope to surpass that amount this year.

Each package contains an Irish Christmas Blessings card, a St. Patrick’s card and cards with Irish dance shoes, an angel and a shamrock.

Call 330-533-7542 or 330-533-0918 to purchase cards, to set up a display or for more information.
