Rotary donates
games galore
A holiday tradition, the Putnam Rotary Club recently collected games for those served by TEEG and the Putnam Family Resource Center.
“We collected about 55 games split between both organizations,” according to Rotarian Rachael Johnston.
She added: “It was especially needed this year due to the pipe burst in the Putnam school causing extensive damage to their collection of toys/games/books/puzzles for this year’s holiday distribution.”
TEEG and the Putnam Family Resource Center representatives said their organizations saw the number of families they serve continue to rise. The combined number of those being served exceeds 500. In addition, those two organizations are the only two in the area that serve children up to age 18. Many serve up to age 12.
The organizations’ representatives said there is a need for gifts for the children in that 12-18 age range. Gift cards are especially appreciated.
