Clarkston Rotarians and friends enjoyed sunny weather for the Goodfellow newspaper drive last weekend.
‘It was fantastic,? said Joel DeLong, Rotary president. ‘The weather was ideal for this time of year.?
The Woodshop and Clarkston Union provided a place to meet and Mac and Cheese for the volunteers.
‘This was their first time volunteering ? they went above and beyond,? DeLong said.
All proceeds from sale of the Goodfellow newspaper, which was produced by Don Rush of The Clarkston News, go to this weekend’s Shoes for Kids program, providing shoes, winter boots, hats, and mittens or gloves to local children in need.
This year, more than 300 kids are signed up for the program, 9 a.m. to about 5:30 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 12, at Oakland Woods Baptist Church on Maybee Road. During the day, food and drinks will be available for volunteers. Set-up is Friday, Dec. 11, from 5 p.m. to about 8:30 p.m.
Several two-hour shifts for volunteers are still open, especially in the afternoon. Go to Clarkstonrotary.org to sign up.
