16 - The Oakville Beaver, Wednesday May 16, 2007 www.oakvillebeaver.com Good deed is giving back Continued from page 14 low lemonade stand. When painting lettering on it proved more challenging than his mom anticipated, Jack's babysitter, Melissa Feenstra, a fine arts student at York University, stepped in. Jack's event poster was put on the front door of his school, Forest Grove Pre-School by his teacher Miss Jennifer (DiFronzo) and not only his teachers, but many students say they'll stop by. Mayor Rob Burton also RSVPed he'll be out bright and early on May 26 to pay a visit. Starbucks has donated 200 cups of coffee to the event and Sobeys is donating the lemonade. MGM Bakery, from around the corner to the Yeilding's home, is also donating cupcakes -- some of them sugar free as Jack's diet precludes refined sugar. Also helping out with posters is FedexKinkos and Higgins Event Rentals is also lending a hand. Some $46.25 had already been raised as of last week as construction workers on site near where Jack was holding his practice sessions stopped by to donate. A neighbour also dropped in early to donate. From good neighbours, to politicians to tradespeople, Jack's effort is already making an impact not only in donations, but community involvement. "It's so sweet that everyone shows such support. That's what makes Oakville such a family-friendly community," said Jodi whose family has lived here 18 years. And Jack is having a ball with the entire affair -- from learning about the mayor, to manhandling lemons, learning to pour, posing for press photos with his cousin Abby Morneau and grandmother Marg Frers, and inviting all his friends to his lemonade stand. According to Jodi, the fundraiser will be held so that people can stop by for refreshments and make whatever donation they choose. Anyone wishing to donate items to the garage sale can contact Jodi at 905-469-9393 or email jyeilding@yahoo.ca. 905-633-9581 W ATCH FOR YOUR CHANCE TO $2500 or a presented by T here's No Place Like Home" SPECIAL METROLAND SUPPLEMENT Wina Gift Certificate from ToolPackage (Valued at $1350) LAWN&GARDEN LAWN&GARDEN FILL OUT THIS BALLOT FOR YOUR CHANCE TO WIN! or you can enter online at contests.metroland.com MAIL ENTRIES TO: THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME, Metroland Corporate Sales, 10 Tempo Ave., Willowdale, Ontario M2H 2N8 NAME: ADDRESS: POSTAL CODE: EMAIL: TELEPHONE: Yes, I wish to receive information from Color Your World and Black & Decker on upcoming specials, contests, promotions & events.
