Coat drive success;

more coats welcome

PUTNAM — Thanks to many generous donors from throughout the area Sept. 23 the Cargill Council 64, Knights of Columbus was able to collect more than 50 good, clean, used winter coats for men, women and children, along with dozens of blankets and bags of baby clothes. Donors filled two pickup trucks and part of a car.

The nine K of C councils from throughout Windham County are collecting winter coats, blankets and baby clothes, which they will give away the day after Thanksgiving, strictly on the basis of need. Donations are still needed, so if you can help, please call Brother Knight John Ryan, at (860) 928-7241 and leave a message.
