Dave Miller Reports on Coat Drive, 

Other Support for Crisis Assistance 

Fellow Rotarians,

Our club has been good to Crisis Assistance Ministry over many years. You
have provided financial donations as well as created an opportunity for many
of you to volunteer on a Tuesday evening.   Many have individually supported
us financially. Others have donated clothing, household items or furniture
and appliances to help those we are privileged to serve. 

One of the other projects that has been very successful for the past five
years is the winter coat drive.  This year under the leadership of Kate
Richards you have gone the extra mile.   I did not get an exact count but I
do know that Lee Wensil did a special drive in various offices and collected
100 coats.  Based on that and the fact that many others of you supported
this drive, I would estimate the number must have approached 200.  On behalf
of those that will be recipients of your generosity, I say thanks.

Dave Miller
