Supplies for troops
The Lyon County Republican Women’s container for collecting items for troops is now at Graves Drugs, 609 Commercial St.
Items that can be donated include small toiletries — individual packs of wipes (recent word from families is that most troops like to choose their own toiletries); snacks — beef jerky, Pringles chips, bags of hard candy (no chocolate), small cans of nuts; paperback books new or like new; pens — Sharpies, felt-tip, fine point; crossword puzzles, etc.; or cash donations because each box costs about $11 to ship. Make checks to Lyon County Republican Women. If requested, a receipt will be sent to an address provided.
Also, please provide names of troops who are actively deployed from this area of Kansas.
Library fundraiser
The Elmendaro Township Library Board is sponsoring a fundraiser for the library. For a $5 donation, a person can select a hand-made ornament for the library’s tree. The ornament can be designated "In Honor of ..." or "In Memory of ..." and hung on the tree. The ornament can be picked up from the library in January.
