An
update on the endeavor to provide coats to children in our area through
the “Coats for Kids” fund raiser is coming along nicely. As of
Wednesday, November 13th, 215 coats have been purchased with
funds still coming in which will be used to continue purchasing coats
until a goal of 230 coats is reached. ‘Coats for Kids’ provides warm
winter coats for 8 different schools and 4 headstart programs within the
Bates County area. The proceeds are kept local with all the coats being
purchased through local Bates County merchants.
Your
donations are still needed and may be dropped off or sent to the DSWA
Office in Butler at 210 W. Ohio Street or you may send your donations
directly to Larry and Carol Ann Winburn at 109 Ranch Drive, Butler. Any
amount, big or small, will help reach the goal of purchasing 230 to 240
coats for the Coats for Kids program for 2013.
The
Children thank you in advance for your donations. The deadline to
donate in time for the delivery date will be announced at a later date.
Each donation received will make you eligible in a drawing to win a
grand prize.
