The KW Basketeers - Helping Women and Children in Our Community The KW Basketeers raise money and collect new items from our local community, family and friends to put together baskets of items to donate to women and children living in the YWCA’s supportive housing units. Last year they donated 45 large baskets and 45 smaller bags with items to 90 women and 30 children. They use any money raised to buy gifts for the children and to supplement any items needed for the baskets to keep them equal. Some examples of items found in the baskets are: towels, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, soap, dental hygiene items, coffee mugs, tea towels, socks, winter hats, mitts, gloves, cake/cookie mixes, chocolate and gift cards to Tim Hortons or Walmart. Last year our club supported this group with a financial donation and on Monday, October 26, coordinators April Scida and Jody Goddard will be our guest presenters to tell us more of their efforts and how our contributed funds helped them with the work they do. NB! Pre-Registration and meal selection is required for both you and your guest! This will be an evening meeting at the Double Tree by Hilton in the Michigan Room with dinner served at a cost of $35, tax and gratuity included; paid in advance when registering.
