See, it's official.

See, it’s official.

Good thing we don’t live in Forks, or this might be a lot weirder…

Anyway, forget about the vampires, twinkly or otherwise, because Coupeville High School cheerleader Kaela Hollrigel wants your blood for non-Team Edward reasons.

The Wolf junior is hosting a community blood drive next Thursday, Jan. 14 (same day Oscar nominations are announced, in case you were wondering), with the proceeds going to a good cause.

Hollrigel, who is trying for a college scholarship, is teaming up with Bloodworks Northwest to put on the event.

All the pertinent details are in the second photo above, so just ignore me now and head back up top.

South Main Street will be hoppin’ Saturday.

The Coupeville Lions Club will be hosting their annual garage sale at the elementary school starting that day, and various factions of Wolf athletes will be taking advantage of the increased traffic.

The CHS volleyball squad will host a fundraiser car wash from 10-2 in the back parking lot at Windermere.

Meanwhile, a couple of doors down, volleyball mom/perpetual whirlwind Amy Briscoe and Co. will be movin’ dresses.

My Fairy Godmother, which collects and distributes inexpensive and free dresses to local girls for a variety of dances, will be having a sale in what used to be the insurance office right smack across the street from the elementary school.

An array of formal dresses will be priced at $20 and below, with proceeds going to benefit the MFG program.

So now you know. And knowing is half the battle.

Tyler Cermak wants to do pushups for you!!

Tyler Cermak

Tyler Cermak

Tyler Cermak is the quickest in all the land.

When the Coupeville High School football squad does a fundraiser to nab bucks to help players pay for a summer camp at Central Washington University, he may or may not do the most pushups.

But he was the first Wolf to think about hitting me up for an article, so he wins that one-time jackpot.

The “Push-Up-A-Thon”, which runs through May 28 (the actual event does not have a concrete day yet), involves CHS players getting pledges or donations based on how many pushups (proper form) they can do in a four-minute spell.

For example, if you pledge $1 per pushup, and Mr. Cermak rips off 70, you’d owe him $70.

The pledge can be for any amount, or, if you’re worried he’s a pushup machine just waiting to go ballistic on you, a person can also just donate a set amount.

Tyler can be contacted at 17thargrave@coupeville.k12.wa.us or, if you have questions, call Coupeville football coach Brett Smedley at 360-901-2482.

P.S. — You can also pledge or donate to any Wolf football player of your choosing, but I’m only writing one article.

Your clothes can help fuel the future success of Coupeville High School basketball.

Wolf junior Makana Stone, the reigning MVP of the Olympic League, is raising funds to cover expenses for her select basketball team, and you can help by simply doing a bit of spring cleaning.

Working with a program called Clothes for the Cause, Stone and her teammates are participating in a textile collection drive.

The goal is for each player to have 1,500 pounds of donations (50 bags, with each bag holding 30 pounds) by April 25.

They are accepting clothing (any kind/any condition), shoes (any kind/any condition), towels (bath, kitchen rags), sheets, blankets, quilts/drapery, purses, belts (synthetic/leather), tablecloths, place mats and stuffed animals.

But, it’s a no go on glass, breakables, electronics, pet beds, bed pillows, carpeting, uniforms or hotel linens.

Making your life even easier, Makana and her family will pick up your donations.

If interested (and you better be) call her mom, Eileen, at 320-3756.

Friends and family of Adam Garcia will be hosting a fundraiser at Oak Bowl this Saturday to benefit his young daughter, Sophia.

Garcia, a former Coupeville High School football player, was shot and killed in Oak Harbor in October, 2014.

The fundraiser, scheduled for 2:30-4:30 PM at the popular bowling alley (531 SE Midway Blvd.), is a birthday celebration for the much-loved 21-year-old.

It’s also a chance to help his beautiful five-year-old daughter. Money raised will help pay for Adam’s funeral expenses and go towards a college fund for Sophia.

Tickets are $20 and can be bought at the door or in advance at Taz’s Auto Service on Goldie Road.

Children five and under will be admitted free.

During the event, raffle drawings will be held for an assortment of baskets, as well.

If you can’t attend, but would like to donate, there are several ways.

You can call Whidbey Memorial Funeral and Cremation Service Inc. (360-675-5777) and ask for Paul or mail a check made out to Whidbey Memorial funeral for Adam Garcia and mail it to 746 NE Midway Blvd, Oak Harbor, WA 98277.

If out of the area, you can donate at any Wells Fargo branch. Ask that the money go to “The Adam Garcia Donation Fund” in Washington state.
