POULSBO — This is the season of giving, but the gratitude comes year-round. “Throughout the year, people have told me, ‘Thanks for helping [the Poulsbo Lions/ Raab Foundation] Bellringer Fund. It helped me out when I needed it,’” said Mike Brooks of Mike’s Car Wash & Detailing on 7th Avenue. “My wife is involved at Fishline. She said [the Poulsbo Lions/Raab Foundation] Bellringer not only helps Fishline, it helps people who are having problems paying their rent or their energy bills. It could be your next-door neighbor. You never know.” The annual Poulsbo Lions/ Raab Foundation Bellringer Fund campaign has begun, and once again Mike’s Car Wash & Detailing is pledging to the fund a portion of proceeds from every car wash in November and December.
