Coats for Kids

Knights of Columbus

The Knights of Columbus Cuyuna Range Council #3473, together with generous donation of others in the community, provided 240 new coats and 150 snow pants  to local elementary schools.  The coats and snow pants were distributed to Rippleside Elementary School in Aitkin, McGregor Elementary, Minisinaakwaang Leadership Academy by McGregor and Cuyuna Range Elementary School in Crosby.  The coats will now be distributed by the School Staff.

This was possible because of the support from the following organizations and people in our local community.

Aitkin VFW Post 1727, 40 Club Inn & Banquet Ctr, Aitkin Lions Club, Hudrlik Carpets & Home Service Store, Thomas Bedard. Marv Chmelik, Ed Spiel, BLAL – Lions Club, Ed Kirk, Bob Janzen, The Kenneth L Keller Foundation, Robert Wander, Mille Lacs Energy Community Trust, Mark Greninger, Mid MN Bank Crosby, Roth RV,  Tom Provost, Roger Marks, Cuyuna Range Lions Club, Steve Freese Residential Drafting, Dr. Jeffery Fish DDS, Gloria Bordwell, Brad McCusker, Super One Crosby, Mike Aspelin,

Thank you for your generosity to provide a new warm winter coat to a child who would otherwise go without.
