Northeast Times-For service club, helping

Northeast Times: "For service club, helping
others is serious work

By Jeannie O’Sullivan

At LaBrum Middle School, philanthropy is hot.
The 13 members of the Morrell Park school’s Community Service Club ask to do it. They encourage their friends to do it. They will even sacrifice a few precious minutes of lunch period to talk about it with a reporter.
Bragging is indeed in order.
Because of the club’s fund-raising efforts, the March of Dimes is $200 richer; students at Whittier School in North Philadelphia were able to rent a bus for a field trip to the National Great Blacks in Wax Museum in Maryland; and three lucky people now own a DVD player, a karaoke machine and a certificate good for dinner for eight at a Chuck E. Cheese restaurant.
These were the prizes from the raffles that the club held to raise funds for the projects."
