The Wellington Eagles Auxiliary bedding drive to benefit Good Knights of Lorain County was a huge success. They raised more than $1,800 to help ensure that children have a safe and comfortable bed to sleep in. This total does not include the thousands of dollars in bedding donated, which took a 30-person assembly line to stuff the Good Knights trailer, pick-up truck bed and cab. We posted a separate video of that endeavor. The demand for beds from families in need fluctuates but remains constant according to Roger Dorsey, executive director of Good Knights. The bedding drive was just the first phase of a fund-raising effort in southern Lorain County. An adventure raffle is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 10 at the Eagles. Tickets are $20 each and six for $100. On Oct. 24, a bed build is set on the Town Hall lawn in downtown Wellington. Last year, this effort of behalf of the Eagles, Wellington Masonic Lodge and Kiwanis Club of Wellington, raised more than $50,000 and 105 beds were built on that Saturday morning. It is all about the kids! ... See MoreSee Less
