Potsdam Kiwanis Club to raise funds at summer festival

Posted

To The Editor:

July 9, July 10 & 11 marks another annual Potsdam Summer Festival being held on Market Street between Main and Elm Streets.

Along with businesses selling their wares both inside and on sidewalk, the one block area will host several vendors offering a variety of items unique to the affair plus a variety of eats offered by local businesses, independent entrepreneurs; local charities, organizations and clubs.

For me personally, you’ll find my fellow colleagues and I, from the Kiwanis Club of Potsdam, working under a white tent on the eastside of Market Street, in front of Lisa Cary’s Total Image, selling fried dough, cans of soft drink and bottled water, plus containers of freshly popped popcorn.

Good eats from the grill are also available at this location from Joanne’s Gift of Love to raise funds in support of their projects through another school year 2015-16.

Friday evening, July 10 at Ives Park and all during the movie, popcorn and some drinks will be available and sold to help fund all Kiwanis of Potsdam youth clubs.

In addition, specially labeled barrels will be placed requesting that recyclable water bottles and soft drink cans only be deposited in these barrels so that the Kiwanis Club can redeem them to help offset the cost of purchasing books to give to the children of Head Start age in Potsdam and Parishville.

Come and support the local businesses, independent entrepreneurs; local charities, organizations and clubs like the Kiwanis Club of Potsdam. Enjoy our friendly atmosphere.
