LOEF annual dinner dance brings record numbers

A record number of people attended the Lake Orion Education Foundation’s eighth annual ‘Evening for Education? event last Saturday at Indianwood Golf & Country Club. According to event chairperson Karen Appledorn, 160 people enjoyed the dinner, silent auction, music, dancing and table games. More than $9,000 was raised for the Foundation, which provides classroom grants to the students of LOCS and funds the district’s Olweus Bullying Prevention Program. In addition, the PNC Bank Foundation recently awarded $10,000 to LOEF, to be split between the classroom grants and the Olweus program. This past year LOEF was able to provide more than $25,000 in classroom grants and $23,000 to the Olweus efforts. In addition to the annual dinner, LOEF hosts a 5K/10K walk/run in the spring and a summer golf outing. For more information, visit www.lakeorioneducationfoundation.org.
