Fall family event reins in fun Lions Club continue tree project Despite drizzling rain, forcing a move to indoors, the Athena Elementary Partners In Education group deemed the Fall Family Fun Night a success. With more than 200 people in attendance and 50 volunteers, the Oct. 12 event raised $1,000 for the family of Quincy Stanford. The Athena first grader is battling leukemia. In addition, Athena PIE president Jane Waldher said the event provided a fun opportunity for parents, teachers and community members to connect. The evening offered fun games centered around Science, Technology, Engi- neering and Math (STEM). Among the favorite activities were an egg drop, a slime- making station and a candy catapult. After watching 5-year-old Grant Waldher, Athena School District Superin- tendent Laure Quaresma joined in on the fun. She engineering a candy cata- pult, gaining assistance from students in Molly Betts’ The Pendleton Lions Club in partnership with the Pendleton Parks & Recre- ation department recently assisted with beautification efforts with a tree-planting project. The local service club planted six trees Oct. 10 along Southwest Frazer Avenue near the Pendleton Chamber of Commerce and the Lions Flagpole Park. The effort is the continuation of the Lions Legacy Project of tree planting, said John Taylor of the local Lions Club. Previously, the Lions donated trees to Pioneer Park and Grecian Heights Park.
