Providence Children’s guild’s candy sale a sweet success

I always look forward to February and the opportunity to reconnect with my friends and business associates through the annual Providence General Children’s Association Guild 8 candy sale.

Thanks to our hardworking volunteers and generous customers, over $3,500 was raised this year at our Valentine fundraiser to support the health care needs of children in our community.

Members of Guild 8 sold delicious See’s candy on the campuses of Providence Everett Medical Center and Cancer Partnership, at Rotary Club meetings in Everett and Marysville, at Brookdale of Mill Creek, Marysville Soroptomists, Roy Robinson Chevrolet in Marysville, Rodland Toyota, Wells Millwork and to Don O’Neal of O’Neal and Brokaw in Lynnwood.

My sincere thanks to everyone who helped make our candy sale a sweet success.
