Pg 2 MACHINISTS MATTERS December 2014 Community Service Committee Upcoming Events Warm Hearts Campaign Local Lodge 839’s Community Service Committee is partnering with District 70 to sponsor KAKE Channel 10 and In The Bag Cleaner’s annual Warm Hearts Campaign. Throughout the month of January, you will hear and see multiple advertisements around town, on TV, mobile apps and on radio stations regarding the event. It’s purpose is to collect as many coats, sweaters and blankets, new or gently used, as possible. The collected items will be cleaned and stored by In The Bag Cleaners until November 2015 when they will be delivered to the Salvation Army to be handed out to the less fortunate to help keep them warm during the cold winter months. Drop sites include KAKE Channel 10, In The Bag Cleaners around town, Local Lodge 839 Office and the District 70 Office. Anyone is welcome to participate. Please bring any new or gently used coats, sweaters or blankets to the Local Lodge and help us spread warmth throughout the winter!
