Giving Back

There is a great deal of pride associated with owning a shiny, clean, fast, chopped street rod, and showing it off at local shows. But, there is an equal amount of pride associated with helping and recognizing the partners & charities that the LSR club is associated with.

At the December 6th, 2017 meeting of the Winfield Volunteer Fire Department, the LSR club was once again honored to recognize the fire department as a Top Sponsor, and to present them with a check in appreciation for all they do for the club. 

“The Winfield  Community Volunteer Fire Department is a volunteer fire department located in south/central Carroll County, Maryland. We are known as the Carroll County Station 14 – and were founded in 1965.

 Meg's Diamond is a small fund that does it's own fund raising and puts everything back out in the community. Last year it bought a wheelchair for a man with diabetes and bought oil for a family that was living without heat. It is named for Megan Marie Taylor, a 17 year old who had aspirations of becoming a special education teacher, but she was killed in a car accident.

Carroll Athletes In Need provides support for students in financial hardship. It was started by teachers /coaches that saw a need to help with the cost of sports, believing that if they can keep at risk students involved in sports, it will help them succeed in school and life. According to their web site; “Assistance will include, but not be limited to, the provision of athletic equipment, clothing, and other items not provided by the school team, including fees and transportation.”

Dads Works began in 2000 as a support group for Dads and their families. It is designed to reach men in areas of basic fathering and family life skills. Their web site www.dadsworks.org  tells us:

“Dads Works helps fathers connect with their children.

• Children need their dads to love them and be involved with them in every area of

their lives.

• Children need their dads to model how to live in today's world. They need the support

and encouragement that fathers provide.

• Children need dad to play, hold, talk and listen to them. Fathers provide security and strength for their children. Fathers can impact their children positively for life.
• Dads Works helps you to improve your own life by showing you how to "Invest in Yourself".”
