We have done this in previous years and it has been much appreciated. Clothing should be for men or women, and include new underwear or socks, and new or clean used pants, shirts, sweaters, jackets, vests, rain gear, hats, boots, etc, all put into black plastic garbage bags. Let's make this a success. Last year we put together suficient bags of clothing to fill the back of a pickup truck. Let's try to equal or beat that this year. Bags may be dropped at my house, or at Engel and Volkers. <br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">All, please pay your membership dues, not later than our last regular meeting of this year, which will be on December 15.
