On Friday, July 18th, our Club delivered 23 backpacks to State Senator Grove’s representative Stephan Sanchez for the Senator’s Back-to-School Backpack Drive.  As of the 29th, another 25 await transfer.

The original goal of the Senator’s drive was to collect 200 backpacks in this area, which would then be given to our local CAPK to be filled with back-to-school supplies and distributed to students in need.
 
If you would like to donate a new school backpack, bring your donation to the July 30th luncheon and David Saint-Amand will collect them and hand them in.
