(Chelsea Update would like to thank Bob Milbrodt for the information in this story.)
The Chelsea Kiwanis Club just completed our Warm the Children service project. Several of our members accompanied families in need of winter clothing to Walmart in Saline. Mary Stewart runs the non-profit organization her father founded, which raises thousands of dollars to provide new clothing for children. Groups like ours volunteer to administer the funds at the store. More information can be found here.
There is just over a week left before hundreds of cases of fresh citrus fruit arrive in Chelsea. Direct from Florida, oranges, tangelos, and grapefruit are a healthy way to keep the sunshine over the upcoming winter season. If you have room in your refrigerator, or can keep the fruit between 32 and 40 degrees, it will stay in good condition until March.
If you did not get a chance to order before now, we have ordered some extras. As you see us delivering the orders, (from Dec. 7-10), speak up to get some of this delicious harvest.
Proceeds from the sale support the many service projects Chelsea Kiwanis undertakes during the year.
The Kiwanis Club will be helping out at the hospital’s Breakfast with Santa on Saturday, Dec. 5. Staff at SJMC hospital can invite children for a visit with Santa, continental breakfast, crafts, and games. Our club members, as well as Dexter and Chelsea Key Club members, will assist the children with the crafts and games.
