Let's hear it for Lake Shore! Jean Quasarano VanOosterwyk and her Lake Shore HS Girls Group from the Class of 1969 recently enjoyed their annual reunion luncheon where they take up a collection to support others in need. This year, they chose Maggie's Wigs 4 Kids of Michigan, Inc and raised $861 to sponsor a child's wig through our Adopt-a-Kid program! We thank them for opening their hearts to help the children we serve. (Fun fact: our Founder & CEO Maggie Varney is also a Shorian alumni!)
