IN MEMORY OF PJ
Paul "PJ" Fluetsch was a steadfast volunteer for The Little Red Schoolhouse and a member of the Odd Fellows, who help sponsor this barbecue. 
He worked tirelessly to promote Little Red Schoolhouse; he organized the Odd Fellows' work crews to help during Distribution Week, and he ran the kitchen and set up on barbecue day. PJ passed away a couple of years ago and we now dedicate this barbecue in his memory.
Can't come to the barbecue? You can still help. Please consider giving a donation in PJ's memory to Little Red Schoolhouse. The amount is up to you, but many people find it helpful to know that it costs about $14 for us to outfit one student. How many children will you sponsor?

Fundraising Barbecue
The Little Red Schoolhouse provides backpacks, school supplies, a coat, socks and underwear every August to thousands of kids whose families may be having trouble affording these things. That way parents don't have to choose between buying food and buying a notebook and pencils.
We estimate we'll serve more than 3,000 students in August 2016. And that means a lot of supplies are needed! Our entirely volunteer-run group needs your help to give supplies to these kids in need. Fortunately, if you like to eat, there's an easy way to make a difference in the life of a child: Come to our fundraiser barbecue May 19!
The food is catered by Marv's Marvlus Pit Bar-B-Q. Eat in or take out. But if you stay, you also get to enjoy live music and good conversation with fellow supporters, or the friends you bring with you. Plus: Desserts for sale! And some cool raffle baskets! Proceeds from those go toward helping the kids too.
The meal is $10 and includes a pulled pork sandwich, cole slaw, baked beans and a beverage. Buy your tickets now, and bring some friends along--it's fun in groups! (Tickets will be $12 at the door, so we recommend buying in advance.)
Thank you to Olympia-Lacey Church of God for hosting us again. They're at the corner of Lacey Boulevard and Ruddell Road. The event is sponsored in part by the Olympia Odd Fellows and supported by donations from individuals and local businesses.
