Bark for Life

So every year my work always participates in the Relay for Life and we always do little things to help raise money. I work at an animal clinic so everything we do of course involves animals and we all know that everyone loves cute little doggies!  About four years ago, we started a new fundraising idea called “Bark for Life”. Every year we have scheduled a mile and a 2.5 mile walk for anyone to come walk their dogs with workers from the animal clinic and Love-A-Stray.

The people that came and registered not only got to go on the walk but could also get their dogs nails trimmed but there was also a bake sale.

For the past three years, we’ve had pretty good luck with the days that we walk, meaning a good turn out, a lot of money made, and especially nice weather. Not this year…This year it was about 38 degrees and blowing rain. It was horrible. Surprisingly though, this year was the best turn out we’ve ever had. There were at least 30 families with their dogs and we fundraised over $1,000 dollars.

Not only did we fundraise money for the American Cancer Society, but we also were walking 2 dogs from Love-A-Stray that needed a home and now some people are interested in the dog that I was walking!

Hopefully next year it won’t be cold and rainy in the middle of May but I hope we also have a better turn out! And everyone should go to the Relay for Life because it goes to a great cause!

Avon Lake Lax!

The Avon Lake Lacrosse team truly is coming back this year. Last season, there was one team and they didn’t win a single game. Now their record is 6-5! Loosing didn’t stop anyone from not coming back and trying harder to improve. This year there are 42 people between Varsity and Junior Varsity. Now both teams are becoming to be unstoppable. That mostly is because the amount of talent and hard work but also because of the new coach they had been searching for. Coach Kevin Walz, was a six-year coach for Oberlin College Men’s Lacrosse and is now happily leading our boys to victory.

Not only has the team expanded but so have the fans and especially the student section! There were some pictures from the beginning of the season when people didn’t really know too much about lacrosse and didn’t know many people that played. Now that they are doing great and a lot of people have friends that play, they are getting a ton of fun support now. They are even getting to play at the brand new high school field under the lights! The Lacrosse club is even selling there own designed t-shirts for ten dollars at the games.

After going to a lot of the lacrosse games to support all of our friends, a lot of girls want to get in on the action and play lacrosse too. The boy’s team now is trying to make their team and official school sport but in order for that to happen, there has to be a women’s sport as well. So hopefully for those girls that want to play there will be a team soon!

Good Luck with the rest of your season! (:

Greyson Michael Chance

Greyson Michael Chance is another new, young singer. Shortly after Cody Simpson was discovered, Greyson was discovered the same way. He put up his videos of him singing and playing the piano and was discovered by a producer. He was 13 years old when he put his video of him singing and playing “paparazzi” by Lady Gaga on YouTube. Shortly after he was discovered, he was appearing all over the place. His first appearance was on the Ellen DeGeneres Show. Now he is a star on YouTube, the internet, and many other shows and concerts.

Recently I saw Greyson perform at the Cody Simpson and he truly is as amazing as Ellen DeGeneres says! For being such a young little kid, he truly has a great voice. It’s so crisp and he hits everything perfect. These truly are star qualities for a little boy.

Speaking of Cody Simpson, Cody and Greyson are like the new bff’s. Greyson open ups for Cody and they do almost everything with each other. Right now they are currently on Cody’s’ 4U EP tour.

I believe that Greyson has great potential and will go very far with his singing.
