   Thanks to everyone who brought in items for the Linn County Mental Health Access Center hygiene kits. 
    Hope to see you this week for the Winterwear Auction for Van Buren Elementary School. See the details below.

This week is our service event at the NCSML to support Van Buren winter wear 
We donated four boxes of coats to Van Buren Elementary School, but it is getting cold and we want to make sure hats, gloves and mittens are also available. 
 
We'll have a 50/50 raffle and also an auction of items from club members to raise money for Van Buren. Talk to Chuck Kudej or Katy Lee if you have an item to put up for auction.  
 
Van Buren Elementary
Last week: Erin Foster 
Greeter: Jana Bodensteiner Cashier: James Nelson
Linn County Mental Health Access Center Director Erin Foster joined us for a really illuminating presentation and discussion about the center's 24/7 crisis services. The center provides crisis care for adults experiencing a mental health or substance use disorder that requires immediate attention. A partnership between the county supervisors, local law enforcement, hospitals and local mental health partners led to the creation of the center.
