As winter approaches we are once more mindful of those that have to face the cold without protection from the worst of the weather.
Our Optimist Of The Year, Clarisse, went shopping and came back with 10 snow suits and 7 winter coats, purchased at an excellent discount from Lapennaco Liquidation at the Seaway Mall in Welland. The manager Darlene says she will be happy to see us again next year, and we thank her very much for working with us on this initiative.
Clarisse is pictured here with incoming club president Jeanette, dropping off the warm weather gear at Port Cares. Meagan, from the Port Cares Outreach centre, received our donation at the East Side location on the corner of Mitchell and Nickel Streets in Port Colborne.
This small contribution will go some way toward keeping the youth of our community warm throughout winter.
