Stick It To 'Em

(Page 5)
By Todd Curran
The second annual Pin Trading Event is being held on Saturday, September 25th at the Turner Valley Legion branch (121 Sunset Boulevard).
Running from 10am to 4pm, the charitable event welcomes donations for the Oilfields Food Bank, raises money for local charities. People of all ages are invited and whether you have one pin or are a seasoned collector, come on out - admission is FREE!
A newly designed Lions Club anniversary pin will be unveiled at the event, along with a special pin designed just for this event. “A lot of the traders that were here last year went to the Olympics in Vancouver,” says event organizer Tim Beer. “So there'll be some new Olympic pins to see and maybe trade for.”
FREE pin collector starter kits will be given to the first 10 kids that arrive at the event in their Team uniform, Scout uniform, or Karate gi. Tables are available for a small fee if you wish to show your pins or promote your organization, and silent auctions and raffles will be held throughout the day. So why not clean out those cupboards, drawers or boxes, find that long lost pin and come on out to have some fun?
Any pins, nonperishable foods or monetary contributions would be greatly appreciated, and any inquiries regarding the event can be directed to foothillsliontim@gmail.com.
Look for an ad in the September 21st issue of the Gateway Gazette that you can cut out and bring to the event for a FREE PIN!
