The Tootsie Roll Campaign by the Knights of Columbus continues! If you spot guys wearing yellow and red aprons at the Lumina Commons Harris Teeter this weekend, dig into your pockets to help this special group and get a big fat chocolate Tootsie Roll in return. They are collecting money for the LAMB Foundation of NC, which assists people with intellectual disabilities.

Some of the local organizations that benefit are: Special Olympics New Hanover Country Polar Plunge, Lindley Habilitation Service and Wrightsboro Elementary School.

Tootsie Roll drives are scheduled throughout the summer. Look for the yellow and red apron clad Knights of Columbus June 16 at the Lumina Commons Harris Teeter.
