CISCO IS MORE THAN $1,400 RICHER

By: Kim Farnes January 8, 2010

Communities in Schools of Orting (CISO) would like to thank the Orting community and local businesses for making the Thankful Leaves Fundraiser such a huge success!

Through the efforts of the Business Solutions Center, Orting Fire Department, Orting Bucky's, Orting Liquor, Los Pinos Family Restaurant, Around the Corner Cafe, Frontier Bank, Cope's Pharmacy, Key Bank, Orting Floral, Hair Hype, Orting Bakery, the Orting Eagles and Carol Goldsteins Mary Kay, the fundraiser raised over $1,400 to support CISO's mentoring, after school enrichment and outreach programs!

The Orting Bakery won first place in the friendly contest and out sold Copes Pharmacy by only 16 leaves! As the winners, the owners and staff of the Bakery got to enjoy a feast of Carl's famous Lasagna for dinner at Around the Corner Cafe on December 28th.

CISO would like to thank everyone who participated in this fundraiser! The support of the community and the businesses in this town on behalf of Orting youth is greatly appreciated!
