K of C fund drive with Tootsie Roll distribution expects to meet goal
10-3-00
Dear
Editor:
Thanks
for your interest in our “Tootsie Roll” Drive last weekend.
Knights of Columbus is in the process of wrapping up this year’s
fund drive and expects to meet our local goal of $7,500. Lincoln
Council 1250 Knights of Columbus has been conducting the annual
fund drives for over 30 years, collecting over $200,000 in
donations to assist the mentally handicapped citizen of Lincoln
and Logan County.
Major
recipients of this money are Special Olympics, Logan County
schools’ special education departments, Logan/Mason Rehab
Center, Lincoln Developmental Center, as well as other local
organizations assisting persons with mental retardation and
learning disabilities.
Each
year the Illinois State Council K of C Charities, Inc. Mental
Retardation/Learning Disabilities Fund helps thousands of
individuals by providing support to qualified organizations [who]
which operate programs on behalf of persons with mental
disabilities. One weekend each year Local K of C councils solicit
funds through the efforts of thousands of volunteers and the
generosity of local businesses and their patrons.
Last
weekend nearly 100 volunteers donned the familiar yellow and red
vests and distributed Tootsie rolls for donations to the fund. In
addition to the Knights of Columbus and its Ladies Auxiliary
members, volunteers included Logan/Mason Rehab Center employees,
Lincoln Girl Scouts, and the LCHS National Honor Society members.
They could be seen at the local Wal-Mart, Burwell Oil Co.,
Kroger, Eagle County Market, Lincoln IGA, and Family Video and at
the intersection of McLean and Broadway Streets.
Our
street corner volunteers collect nearly one-half of our donations,
with the other half coming from local merchants and businesses.
Thank
you to all the volunteers and supporting groups.
Sincerely,
Lee
Mills
MH
Drive Chairman
