Youth Employment Services holds BBQ fundraiser

Josh Davis Pincher Creek Voice

On July 27, Youth Employment Services (YES) held another of their summer fundraisers. Stationed outside of Pincher Creek Sobeys, YES coordinator Kelsi Byam, dressed as a clown, and her volunteers, sold hot-dogs and soft drinks to the community. Sobeys donated the barbeque for their use, as well as granting them use of the space and a discount on the product. Byam estimated that they would likely raise around $150 at this fundraiser, as the crowd was consistent and hungry.

Their next fundraiser will be a barbeque to be held at the Ranchland Mall Co-op on Friday, August 3 from 11 am to 2 pm.  Following this will be their business bake sale on Thursday August 16, set in front of businesses around town, and focused on Main Street. Their final summer fundraiser will be another barbeque at the Ranchland Mall Co-op, to be held on Thursday August 23, which also begins at 11 am.

These events are also listed on the Pincher Creek Voice Events Calendar.

YES also recently held its Pet Care Clinic workshop at the Pincher Creek Veterinary Clinic. Seven lucky students got a tour of the clinic, and were taught how to do exams on their own pets. The final YES workshop of the summer, on active living, is to be held on Wednesday August 1 at Monster Fitness. This workshop will begin at 1:00 pm, so don’t be late if you want to develop your physical fitness.

Good luck to YES as they head into their last month of summer fundraisers.
