   Pop Warner cheerleaders complete successful season

   

   The LaPorte Pop Warner Midget Squad at Wide World of Sports in Orlando, FL. (Click on photo to enlarge)

   The LaPorte Pop Warner competition cheer squads would like the to thank the community for its support and dedication to all 75 members of the competition squads during the 2011 season.

   The community’s support allowed three squads to travel to Illinois for regional competition, and the Midget cheer squad of 27 cheerleaders and 4 coaches to travel to Florida to compete nationally. The Midgets finished their season placing 10th nationally and gave their best performance and received their best score all season.

   Pop Warner participants look forward to doing it again in fall 2012 and hopefully taking all three competition squads to Florida.

   Jaycees thank all who helped with Deserving Children’s Shopping Tour

   The holiday season was made a little brighter for about 400 children in LaPorte County during the LaPorte Jaycees’ 41st annual Deserving Children’s Shopping Tour, held Dec. 6, 2011.

   The Jaycees, along with help from the Roof Sit Committee, local schools and many generous community donations, were able to take more than 400 of our community’s deserving children shopping. The night began with a warm meal donated by McDonald’s, followed by a visit with Santa Claus, and concluded with shopping for needed coats, boots, mittens, clothes and a toy.

   On behalf of the LaPorte Jaycees, The Roof Sit Committee and the Deserving Children of LaPorte, thank you for your generous donations and your tireless volunteer efforts!

   A special thank you to the following: Walmart, Kmart, McDonald’s, Western Inn, American Licorice, General Insurance Services, Boy Scouts of America, LPHS Girls Reserve, LaPorte County Fairgrounds, Mike Seitz, Roofsit Committee, 1st Source Bank, LaPorte Community Schools and staff, Westville Elementary School and staff, Rolling Prairie Elementary School and staff, Prairie View Elementary School and staff, Wanatah Elementary School and staff.

   And a very special thank you to all the escorts for volunteering your time to make a difference in this holiday event!

   Kirkham thanks supporters, commends fellow candidates

   To the citizens of the City of LaPorte, I would like to thank you for voting me onto the City Council. I would like to thank those who supported and encouraged me during the campaign, especially my loving wife, Sharon, and God. I will work with the new mayor, the rest of the city council and department heads to move this city forward. I will do my best to improve the attitude of our city by making this a city to be proud of again. I will also work with integrity, honesty and family values.

   If there ever is a question about our city, please call or stop me on the street. I will try my best to get an answer for you.

   To the candidates who lost, thank you for running. I hope you stay involved. I know you had the best interest of the city at heart.

   Thank you again,

   Cary Kirkham

   LaPorte City Council At Large-elect.
