The Skippack Lions Club runs a charity food booth )staffed by ancillary volunteers) that raises money to help children.

To all Skippack Lions 2012 Folk Fest Volunteers:

A HUGE THANK YOU from the Skippack Lions for making the 2012 Charity Folk Fest Food Booth a good year (still tallying the final numbers).  We can’t do this without all of you great volunteers!  We appreciate the help from each and every one of you for your volunteer efforts from Booth Set-Up/Tear Down to Hoagie Making to Working the Booth.

Remember, the funds we raise help many people in many ways from supporting the Visually Impaired, Diabetes Awareness, Veterans Charities (Fisher House), Beacon Lodge Camp for Visually Impaired Kids,  Local College Scholarships and many more local, regional and world wide programs.  By helping us, you help make a difference in your community too!

We hope to see you next year!

Thank you!
