Regardless of taste, ticket holders should come in need of satiation — Sweet Affaire is all-you-can-eat, all-you- can-drink. Proceeds go to recreation district scholarships By Andrew R. Tonry For the Seaside Signal Martha was in second grade and homeless. “She and her family were in and out of the Helping Hands shelter for quite a while,” said Ryan Stanley, recreation coordinator for the Sunset Empire Park and Rec- reation District. Pool days, said Stanley, afforded Martha — not her real name — a rare chance to shower. “Her parents were going through a really rough time, and she had taken on a lot of adult roles at the home,” said Stanley. “Only being a sec- ond grader, this was a chance for her to be with kids and be a kid again.” Along with her class- mates, Martha was given an after-school snack and a safe, supervised environment, along with access to the pool and myriad other extracurric- ular activities. She was able to attend these after-school classes EHFDXVH VKH TXDOL¿HG IRU D scholarship.

More than 30 businesses along the North Coast — in- cluding those from outside the Sunset Empire Park and Recreation District — have donated time, product and an abundance of sweets in hopes Sweet scholarships Attendees also will be en- couraged to bid on donated packages, including those for swim lessons or summer camps.
