1993 Care and ShareBy Karl D Shurson
Care and Share is continuing to prepare for the December 18th distribution date.
Gifts placed at the sharing tree will provide for many of the childrens needs. Families which choose to participate in this way are really sharing the spirit of the holiday.
Final preparations for the food basket orders were completed last week. Mike Langan, manager of the Kasson Erdmans Store, has placed the orders to insure everything will be available to complete the food baskets. Local Lions members will prepare the good baskets on December 16th at Erdmans.
Financial contributions are also starting to come in the mail. We have a significant need so we are hopeful the Kasson-Mantorville area community will again provide the money to meet the Care and Share needs.
Contributions can be sent to Care and Share, Box 121, Kasson, Minnesota; or drop of checks at the Kasson Variety Store with Lynn Sturgis.
Che Care and Share team will continue to meet at Daniels Restaurant at 7:30 each Tuesday until Christmas.
