Who cares? It's lasagne!
(No, seriously, the Lighthouse kids deserve our support.)

Why do they deserve it

The Lighthouse School provides a positive learning environment for student that don't do well in a traditional school. I support their efforts.
Show your support and be at the dinner or donate a couple of bucks to support their cause. thanks

Mike -
We've been friends for years and will continue that relationship. You have, as well as everyone else, a right to question what the proceeds go for and why we should support the BILS. Keep in mind this is a voluntary contribution to the school who deserve help simply because they are making a contribution to society as a whole and particularly BI. You can't place a value or question on that accomplishment. You can make a choice to support or not and I know you will make the right decision.

KIRK

are you that bold to post this on a school function

THIS SHOULD BE REMOVED. I don't understand you people sometimes

Yvonne - I support anything the Lighthouse School does and love your Emoticons. I might be an anomaly but not that hard to "understand". I have a problem with people who violate the trust placed in them to handle others' money. Not a big fan of mismanaging our tax dollars.

Wishing the Lighthouse School nothing but success with the dinner.

I contacted one of the teacher at the LightHouse School in regards to how the fund raiser money is spent. The money is used for tooth brushes and paste and other items that the student need. sometimes even popcorn at Saturday movies. Some of these kids have little support from anyone. They can use our help. Hope to see you all at the dinner.

In the past there has been a non-meat entree available at these events. Will that continue to be the case with the change of menu?

Good question. The pasta dinner for the Beaver Island Veteran Project will have a non meat sauce. Maybe the school should offer something like that.

I am confused. The LightHouse School did not appear to be operating this past summer/fall? Is it still in business?

In the past the summer program was run by the Youth Employment Training Program. The student worked for pay and took a science class. That program did not happen this summer.
During the school year the school is an alternative education school run by Charlevoix Public Schools. This school is doing the dinner.

The Lighthouse School is awesome and the more lasagna the better!
