On Saturday, August 8th, 75 area students were able to shop for a back pack and school supplies at the COPE office. Area churches and organizations donated the supplies kids needed to begin school this week. Thanks to the generosity of our Rotary Club and members, we were able to donate 20 new locker combination locks and 15 large back packs. Tammy Green, Executive Director of COPE wanted to send her thank you to all Rotarians that supported the back pack program. Mike Ough,past Rotary President is participating in the project as shown in the adjacent photo
