The Eden area 4-H Club members will be collecting paper goods in front of St. Paul’s Cathedral between 10 a.m. and noon on Saturday also. Please drive up and drop off your donation of napkins, tissues, toilet paper, paper plates and paper towels and help support the efforts of these kids to stock the Warming Shelter for the coming winter season. Volunteers are needed on Oct. 25 to help with both projects. To sign up, contact the Volunteer Center at (920) 926-1414. If you are elderly or disabled and would like your yard added to the Rake Relief list, please call the Volunteer Center.
