Yesterday was a banner day in terms of collecting coats and other winter wear. Schools Count was the recipient of over 100 coasts, dozens of pullovers and many pairs of mittens and gloves not to mention scarves and hats!!
Cynthia McGann, along with Mary Beth Owano, headed up this huge collection effort. Reaching out to the Chicago Hawks Hockey Club, Kids4Good, Eisenhower Jr. High and other friends, the two were able to collect, clean and sort all of these items. This was a big undertaking!!!
These two volunteers are often working with local schools to promote all sorts of kind acts; helping IMN in Haiti, assisting IL school children and aiding others in need. Their work in guiding children to make meaningful and significant contributions to the larger society is most noteworthy.
As we get ready to head to CPS and Harvey, IL schools over the next couple of weeks, the children who will receive the warm clothing will have many to thank, including Cynthia and Mary Beth!
Many thanks,
Dick
