Help Us Stuff The Studio!

The day has arrived and we look forward to seeing YOU in our front parking lot today!  We have our make-shift studio out front and we will be broadcasting live throughout the day.  I will be out front between 1 and 4 this afternoon and would love to see you!

It’s our very first annual Stuff the Studio event, together with Lambton College, we are collecting donations of school supplies for the Inn of the Good Shepherd.

Anything and everything is welcome – including cash donations.

We’ve got food!  Stop by for a hamburger or hotdog between 11 and 2 (with a donation to the Inn of the Good Shepherd).

There is something about this time of year that takes me back to old school days.  There was so much excitement over getting those new pencils and pencil crayons and markers and setting up your pencil case.  And always excitement over a new backpack.

Back to school is hard enough without having to worry about having all the essential supplies needed to have a successful school year.  Worry about making friends, and liking the teacher, and where to sit in the classroom, who will sit with you at lunch.  Kids shouldn’t have to worry about having the supplies they need.

Life is expensive all around right now.  Some families are struggling just to pay the rent and put food on the table and don’t need the added stress of how to take care of this huge list of items needed for back to school.

That’s where we come in as a community. Please stop by today with any donations to help our Stuff the Studio campaign.  Anything and everything is appreciated today.

And we’ve got prizes!  You have a chance to win gift cards from Lambton Mall, Sweet Lemons Sarnia, and Macro Foods.  We’ve got a gift basket from Sylvan Learning Centre, a gift pack from Manley’s Basics, a family pass to the African Lion Safari and a chance to win Big Macs for a year from McDonalds!

Big thanks to Lambton College, Bluecoast Reaty Brokerage Ltd., Coffee Lodge, Bluewater Foodland, Real Canadian Superstore, Prout’s Building Centre, Manleys Basics, Sweet Lemons Sarnia, Sylvan Learning Centre, and Lambton Mall for making today possible.

And a really big thank you to YOU – our amazing Fox listeners – who always step up to the challenge.  When there is a need in Sarnia-Lambton – you ALWAYS step up and give so generously and it is absolutely AMAZING to see.
