CHURCH IN SOCIETY COMMITTEE will be collecting NEW PAJAMAS for Willows Closet out of Clear Lake. This is a total non-profit organization helping the over 100 foster children in Polk County. New pajamas in all sizes (newborn to adult) will be collected until Dec. 2, for a party to be held later that week. If you'd like to donate wrapping paper, that would be great too. Please wrap the pajamas and put a note on them saying what size and gender. NOTE THE DECEMBER 2ND DEADLINE!
