A bounty of warm clothes A new campaign this fall collected hundreds of coats, hats, mittens, boots and other warm clothes to meet the needs of students and families identified as in need by counselors at the elementary schools in Shelburne, Charlotte and Hinesburg and at Champlain Valley Union High School. Donations poured into donation sites in all three towns, and then Rotary members tackled the huge challenge of ensuring that all the clothing was clean and ready for its new wearers. The generosity of Joe and Brian Precourt made it possible as they generously donated use of their washers and dryers at the Wash Shed in the Shelburne Shopping Park for teams of Rotary Club members to clean large loads of clothing on many November and December days.
