Shamrock Shuffle March 17

The Shamrock Shuffle is Saturday March 17. The Lakota West Upbeat Club will be a recipient of the Shamrock Shuffle 2018 proceeds from the West Chester/Liberty Community Foundation. We need at least 15 people to register to receive some of the funds. The more people we have registered, the more money we receive. The race is on March 17, at the clock tower, so put your green gear on and join the fun!  There is a 5k and an 10K, a Leprechaun Lap for kids, a beer obstacle course and a  Sleep In Special.  The cost to register for the 5K is $38.37, kids under 15 are $15.00 and the 10K is $40.00.  Go to The Shamrock Shuffle  to register for the race.  Click Race Registration in the top right corner. The Lakota West Upbeat Club is listed in the Charities section.

A Challenge has been extended for this year…………………..run and beat Mr Carr’s time!  Can you beat his time of 29.31 minutes from last year?

Jazz n’ Cakes April 21

We are excited for our BIG annual Jazz ‘n Cakes fundraiser this April. 
Each year we hold a silent auction and basket raffle with dozens of themed baskets, and we’d love your help.  Check your closets.  Did you receive any gifts that just don’t suit you?  We’ll take them!  Gift cards or event tickets you’ll never use?  We’d love them!  Do you know anyone who might like to donate a service (haircut, photography, etc)?  Send them our way!  E-mail us at publicity@lakotawestbands.org
Vendors, join our Main Street Market at Jazz ‘n Cakes, Saturday, April 21st.  For information on reserving a table, e-mail vendors@lakotawestbands.org
