Rotary Club gears up for coat drive
MOSES LAKE — It’s not winter yet by a long shot, but the first hint of cool air is beginning to remind Basin residents that it won’t be too much longer. The Rotary Club of Moses Lake, this year with the help of 4-H, is beginning to collect coats to help keep kids warm when the air gets nippy. The club’s annual Coats 4 Kids program will start off with a coat drive Oct. 5 at the Penn Plaza parking lot, 1035 N. Stratford Road. “We felt like we were a little bit short of what the need was last year, so this is the first time that we’ve had a formal coat drive like this,” said club President Amy Raymond. “It’s an effort to increase the number of coats that we’ll be able to distribute later.”
