The Kansas City Plaza Rotary Club has adopted two families with children at Gordon Parks Elementary School, a Charter Elementary school at 3715 Wyoming, Kansas City, Missouri. Click on the whole story for suggested gift items.
This Friday will be the last meeting where money will be collected so that shopping can be done and the presents wrapped hopefully before December 5th. I have already purchased two winter coats for the first family and winter coats for the girls in the second family. If you would like to help with the purchasing, please contact Frances Reddis at freddis2014@hotmail.com or 816-853-3256. We also plan on having a gift wrapping session at a place and time yet to be determined.
