Recognizing the crucial role that access to books plays in a child's development, The Kiwanis Club of CK has embarked on a mission to raise funds for children's books through an unconventional approach. Residents are invited to participate by donating any empty liquor and beer bottles. These donations will directly contribute to providing books for children in Chatham-Kent. The Kiwanis Club of Chatham-Kent will be collected empty liquor, wine or beer bottles and any beer or alcohol cans. Your donation will help raise funds towards the Dolly Parton Imagination Library. The Kiwanis club sponsors 437 children in CK. By supporting Bottles for Books, not only are you recycling and contributing to a cleaner environment, but you're also giving children the gift of education and imagination. On May 25 leave your empties in your driveway at 9:00 am.
