Halloween Sock Hop nets over $ 1,000 for OneSight

The first annual fundraiser “Sock Hop” was introduced by Lions Dan & Yvonne Fimby on Oct 13^th, 2012. Disguised as an early Halloween Party, the event took place at the Santa Clara Valley Blind Center, featuring a “Best Costume” contest, raffle, a fortune teller, trick-and-treat bags for kids as well as dance music “50’s style” with DJ Miguel Avalos. The story of the “Sock Hop” originated from the Fimby’s being owners of a classic car and remembering the “50’s” and the Dick Clark Show. With many club members from this time of bobby socks and 57 “Chevy’s”, it was a fun event with music from movies like “Grease”, and many rock-and-roll tunes.

The party mood was enhanced with very affordable hot dogs, hamburgers and, of course, “root beer floats”. The net proceeds of over $ 1,000 will go to the “One Sight Program”, something Lion Yvonne is very proud of. She said she wanted to do more to help meet all the budget costs associated with this great program for children and create awareness about how the Lions are improving the quality of people’s lives. About 60 adults and 20-25 kids, most in costumes and decorated in period outfits, attended and were part of enriching a child’s life with a small donation. In turn, they experienced an evening of laughing, dancing, good eats and lots of quality family time.Lion Yvonne definitely hopes to do it again next year, so be sure to gather you friends for a fun night of “Blue Suede Shoes” and “Great Balls of Fire”.

Thanks to “Debbie Lyn’s Costumes” for sponsoring the event.
