Spur-of-the-Moment Haiti Fundraiser

Judge Westfall has adopted 3 kids from an orphanage in Haiti. The orphanage was ruined in the earthquake and 300 kids from that orphanage have no home. Judge Westfall and his family planned a yard sale at Lin's to raise money for that orphanage in Haiti.

The Ladies Fundraising committee wanted to help the people in Haiti. We had very short notice to pull this off so we got permission from Chief to do "Fill the Helmet" to help Judge Westfall on Saturday, January 16. Five Ladies and their husbands volunteered at Wal-Mart for 2 hours and they raised over $1,000. The money will go directly to the orphanage through Judge Westfall.

We heard many positve comments from the people donating. They were very thankful that we were providing a way for them to help. In fact, many stated that they wanted to help the people of Haiti but they didn't know how they could and that the money was going for a very good cause.
