Upcoming Benefit Car Washes Of Note

There are two upcoming and local fundraising events which are worth mentioning. Both are car washes a week apart, so you’ll have no excuse to come away with a squeaky-clean car.

This Saturday, July 8, from 11 am to 4 pm at the Subway (6541 Sexton Dr NW and the freeway). This is a Car Wash to benefit two Griffin Middle School students.

Emma Messinger and Michael Walther, who are entering 7th Grade this next school year, were nominated by their teachers to attend the Junior National Young Leaders Conference this summer, in Washington, D.C. All donations will be accepted to help send these two to our nation’s capitol. In addition to the car wash, they will be selling cookies and other snacks.

Special thanks to Joe and Cheryl Williams, owners of the Island Market, and for Subway Sandwiches, for their support of this event.

Next Saturday, July 15, from 10 am to 3 pm, the Griffin Fire Fighter’s Association will hold their car wash. Proceeds benefit the Association. This is at the main Fire Station, 3707 Steamboat Loop NW. All donations accepted. And, they’ll have the fire equipment out, so you can take a look at their cool stuff, too.
