Citizens of all ages are encouraged to participate in the eighth-annual Power of Florence event set for July 21.
T
he eighth annual Power of Flor-
ence, a city-wide day of volun-
teering and helping others, is
scheduled for Saturday, July 21. The
Florence City Council officially pro-
claimed the third Saturday each July as
a day dedicated to joining together to
make a difference by fundraising, vol-
unteering and attending community
service projects.
This day of making a difference
starts with a Power Walk led by Mayor
Joe Henry and Police Chief Tom Turn-
er. It continues with service projects all
over town as well as the “Party in the
Parking Lot” at Grocery Outlet. This
party will feature entertainment by the
CROW kids and Jason Woods’ vocal
students. The Humane Society will be
on hand with a delicious BBQ as will
several local nonprofits including the
Lion Club who will be offering free
health screenings.
Over the past seven years, the Power
of Florence has had more than 7,500
volunteers join together to beautify
our parks and schools, raise money
for local non-profits and collect thou-
sands of pounds of food for Florence
Food Share.
The Power of Florence was de-
veloped by Kaylee Graham who has
inspired so many with her love of
volunteerism and giving back to the
community she loves so dearly. But
as she graduates from Siuslaw High
and moves on to college, she passes
the torch to Ava Glowacki and Faith
Lumadue.
Seventh-graders Ava and Faith share
Kaylee’s belief that we all have the pow-
er to make our community stronger by
pitching in and having fun together.
If you or your organization would
like to join us for the Power of Flor-
ence, email Ava and Faith at power-
offlorence@hotmail.com or call for
more information at 541-997-9819.
