Program: Warm The Children is a program that provides new winter clothing for needy children. Over the past few years, the Shoreline chapter has served over 800 children while purchasing $350,000.00 of new winter clothing each year. Dick Campbell, program coordinator, outlined the responsibilities of being a volunteer shopper. A hand-out answered several frequently asked questions: What is the Warm the Children Fund? How will the children be identified? How will the clothing be purchased? and How can I help? Dick encouraged us to donate our time, money or both to this worthy program. For more information contact Dick at rpc06475@sbcglobal.net, talk to Kathy Callinan or visit warmthechildren.org.

Reminder: Student of the Month Program on 10/14/15 will begin promptly at 7:00AM
