Editor, the VOICE:
The kindness from the Black Diamond community has been great, and we received so many back-to-school supplies, that we have extended that program until Monday, September 11th, available 9a.m.- 4p.m. Our Board of Directors and staff want to give any youth in the Enumclaw School District a chance to pick out the supplies they need to start the school year.
Special thanks to the Maple Valley Black Diamond Rotary for donating a check, to the Eagles for their cash and children’s donations, to the Pythians, St. Barbara Church, Lake Sawyer Christian Church, Chapel Wood Baptist Church, the Kiwanis for supplies, the Junior Hornets for supplies, and The Loft for over fifty backpacks. Another big thank you to every person who saw our reader board, website, and Facebook, asking for supplies, so many people donated school items, food, children’s clothing, and checks.
I have to say again, we are lucky to live in such a caring community. Thank you.
