Other Calendar Events:
Job’s Daughters Help Youth Purchase Hearing Aids
Rock Springs Job’s Daughters Bethel No. 13 hosted a spaghetti dinner last Friday night, March 25th. The dinner was to raise money for their charity, the Hearing Impaired Kids Endowment, or HIKE for short. The event was also a celebration of a local youth, Joshua Graves of Green River, receiving a $3500 award from HIKE to purchase new hearing aids.
Wyoming Job’s Daughters HIKE chairman, Maria Criswell of Lander, was on hand to present a copy of the check to Graves, but he had received the real check in January and already had on his new hearing aids. Graves, 12, spoke to the group saying that he appreciated the help in getting the new hearing aids and that he could hear much better and was asking people to repeat themselves less.
Job’s Daughters from Green River Bethel No. 48 were also in attendance to help raise money for HIKE. They donated a collection of beautiful baskets that were raffled in a silent raffle. Together, the two groups of girls raised about $800 to assist children with hearing loss.
Job’s Daughters is an organization for girls between the ages of 10 and 20. It teaches leadership, charity, public speaking skills, as well as provides a safe, wholesome environment for girls to have fun. HIKE is the Job’s Daughters charity. They are celebrating the 25th anniversary for HIKE this year. Over the past 25 years HIKE has given children between the ages of birth and twenty funding for hearing aids and other assistive devices totaling more than $3 million. All the money is raised by the members of local bethels, such as the ones here in Rock Springs and Green River. For more information about either Job’s Daughters or HIKE, please call Maria Criswell at 307-389-9639.
