a
Kings Mountain Optimist Club
kicked off their year-round needy
children's project this week with a
Thanksgiving donation of $400.
Almost immediately club
president Jeff Putnam said the club
was asked to help a mother and her
two children whose table would be
empty on Thursday without their
generosity.
Partners In Love is how school
sociologist Hallie Blanton calls the
program inaugurated by the club
and Kings Mountain District
Schools.
What it means is that the local
organization has opened a special
savings account at First Union
National Bank. Monies can be do-
nated at any time of the year by
caring individuals and the money
will be used to help needy families
such as the one the local club
helped Monday when it opened the
account. Checks should be made
payable to Optimist Needy
