The Young Women’s Service Club (YWSC) is gearing up for their annual Minden St. Jude Kid’s Day set to take place beginning at 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. Saturday, February 8. 

“The club is always ecstatic to host the St. Jude Kid’s Day,” said President Gillian Davis. “We love seeing all the smiles on the kids’ faces, but most of all we are always ready to help the kids at St. Jude. This event is just a little contribution to helping those young kids and their families through a tough time.” 

The YWSC will be set up beside the fountain right outside the Minden Civic Center. It will be $10 dollars for the kids to enjoy bounce houses, temporary tattoos, snacks, games and more. All the proceeds raised will be donated directly to the auction following the event.  

Thanks to the support of the community, the club has been able to donate around $2,000 each year.  

The auction will kick-off on Thursday, February 6 and run until Sunday, February 9. The committee is still gathering raffle items if your business or organization is interested in donating, please reach out to the Minden St. Jude Auction Facebook page or email: mindenstjudemerch@gmail.com
