Outreach officers begin terms

Lacrosse

New officers for the 2013 – 2015 terms at the LaCrosse Outreach are: Wayne Miller, president; Maria Webster, vice president; Lois Olmstead, secretary, and Charlotte Honn, treasurer. The public is more than welcome to attend the meetings that are currently held at the LaCrosse Builders conference room on the first Wednesday of the month at 4:30 p.m.

Charlotte Honn, the Thrift Shop manager, reports the $1 off bag sale in January reduced the inventory so they can get ready for spring.

They still have a good supply of women’s jeans and coats and personal wear. The kitchen needs some pots and pans and dishes.

Shop hours are Wednesday – Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Wayne Miller, food bank manager, appreciates all the extra help he received to get the holiday baskets ready for distribution. Those who donated food and money made this the best year ever for the Food Bank. Currently some needs at the Food Bank are: water packed tuna fish, hot cocoa mix, peanut butter and any kind of soup. Pantry Day will be Tuesday, Feb. 12, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Commodity Day will be Thursday, Feb. 27, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

There will be a blood drive in LaCrosse on Feb. 4 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the LaCrosse City Hall.
