This very active committee carries out some
extremely important work in support of our
communities. Two long-time projects are
the primary focus of their efforts. |
Coats For Kids |
Organized and carried out every fall in
Lewis County. This committee
collects donations of money, new coats, boots, snow
pants, hats and mittens for needy children
throughout the year. During the winter of
2023-'24, they supplied 66 new coats, 20 pairs of
boots, 5 pairs of snow pants and numerous sets
of hats and mittens. Our membership is very
generous with their support. School districts,
churches, social services and other groups in
Lewis County may contact the co-chairs with
requests by emailing
communityservice@renyncz.org.
This picture shows 40 pairs of boots, eight
coats and 28 hats are on their way to Adirondack
Central School. The total this fall so far
is 52 coats, 53 pairs of boots and three snow
pants.

This program helps many children in our Lewis
County schools. |
Love Your Public Library |
This project is led by
Patricia Dietrich. At our NCZ luncheons Pat
sells raffle tickets where members can write the
name of their favorite public library. A drawing
is made and that library receives a $50 gift to
spend any way they wish. Usually two $50 awards
are given from each luncheon. The small public
libraries in Jefferson and Lewis Counties
appreciate these unexpected gifts. |
