Rosewood AKTION Club Conducting Blanket Drive
Rosewood Miracle Workers AKTION Club is preparing to give the gift of warmth during this upcoming holiday season. The club is conducting a blanket drive as a way to help others in need. Now through Nov. 30, the Miracle Workers are accepting new blankets, quilts, and homemade blankets. They are also accepting monetary donations, which will be used to purchase additional blankets.

Following the drive, club members will deliver the blankets to two area organizations: Family Crisis Center, and Barton County Health Department.
“Our members are very excited to begin the blanket drive,” said Frankie Pelster, Rosewood AKTION Club sponsor. “They get pure joy and satisfaction from helping others in our community. It’s also a great way for them to get into the spirit of the season.”
People can drop off blankets or monetary donations at three locations in Great Bend: Rosewood Services Administration Office, 384 N. Washington; Rosewood Furniture Gallery, 1607 Main; and Rosewood Employment Network Office, 1105 Main, Suite A.
Rosewood AKTION Club is an affiliate of the national Kiwanis organization that promotes service in action for people with developmental disabilities. The area club allows Rosewood clients to be actively involved in the community and to positively impact the lives of others.
