Well what do you know?! The seven day string of record 92 degree heat (plus) has finally given way to some normal chilly fall like temps. And those falling temps will surely - sorry to say - will give way to the cold of late fall and winter. Oh, sorry to mention that last word.
On a serious note, those bitter cold days mean that we all have to bundle up. As we have for the past eight years, our charity will once again be collecting children's winter coats. We prefer new ones as a brand new one makes it that much more special for the kids.
Our goal is to collect/buy 500 coats between now and November 15th when we will provide these to the principals of the various schools at our 'Appreciation Dinner.'
A few guidelines. We prefer new coats (I can write a tax receipt for you) but will take gently used winter coats that are very clean and almost like new. Please, NO hoodies, NO sweatshirts, NO trench coats, NO long dress coats.
You can drop these off at 9550 140th Ct. in Orland Park (give me a call at 630-863-6035 ahead of time) or at 345 Harris in Clarendon Hills or at 451 Colfax in Clarendon Hills. Please contact me at rich219@comcast.net with any questions.
Many thanks,
Dick
