Want to learn about coupon clipping from a pro?  Ula Lewis will be at the food bank in Bayview this coming week to help you learn how to maximize your dollars. Ula will have two coupon classes one on Tuesday, October 5th from 5:00-7:00 p.m.  and again on the 6th from 10:00 a.m. until noon.

She will be back each week at the same time for consultations. If you would like to be on her email list you can send an email to damien@goodcheer.org  and we’ll get you on her list.

Ula raised 11 children and she had to watch her food budget; clipping coupons was one technique that worked very well.

Lewis is a special kind of volunteer for the Good Cheer Food Bank. She’s a coupon-clipper, organizer and frugal shopper who saves us hundreds of dollars a month by using coupons for items purchased at chain stores offering double and triple coupon redemptions.

Does this get your attention? That looks like 100% savings; yes no bill.

Ula can spend up to 30 hours a week at her coupon and shopping work for Good Cheer; on top of volunteering at the Food Bank. This is a woman with a great heart!

You may be surprised by what you can learn!

Good Cheer!

The Good Cheer Food Bank invites children and their parents or guardians to dress as a healthy food item and march with them in the Island County Fair Parade, Saturday morning, August 21st. Every costumed adult, teen, and child (along with parent/guardian) in the Good Cheer parade group will receive a free admission pass to the Fair that day, plus a gift certificate for $10 good at Good Cheer Thrift Stores.


The 2009 Good Cheer Parade Group

There were a wide variety of costumes at last years parade. Here again is an opportunity to show your creativity and support a good cause.  Many people look for our group in the parade, and the kids love being cheered on as they show support for our community food bank.

Musical farmers and carrot people

Strange creatures lurking around the parade grounds

Pretty girls

Hot dogs, not sure how healthy they are, but it looks like good fun!

You can find childrens registration forms by clicking here.  Adult forms are here. They will also be available at the Good Cheer Thrift Stores in Langley and Clinton, plus the Food Bank in Bayview.

Participants should meet in costume for the parade at 9 a.m. in front of Good Cheer Thrift Store in Langley.

Come and march with us!

Good Cheer!
