Events and Activities : Knights of Columbus plan Tootsie Roll Drive this weekend

The annual Vinton Knights of Columbus Persons with Intellectual Disabilities Drive will be held this weekend, Saturday, Oct. 11 and 12th. KC’s will be outside several area businesses distributing large Tootsie Rolls for a donation to help two organizations that aid intellectually disabled people in the community.

Locally, you’ll find the Knights outside Fareway and Theisen’s in Vinton, and at Roy’s Grocery in Shellsburg. On Sunday, Knights will be at Roy’s and Theisen’s. The money raised will be split between the Arc of East Central Iowa’s Vinton Summer Day Program and The Vinton Shellsburg United Special Olympics team.

The Knights would like to thank Fareway, Roy’s and Theisen’s, as well as the members of the community for supporting this event.
