Coats
For Kids Ramps Up In Los Banos
-
Donors have the opportunity to win a drawing.
The
local Coats For Kids program is rapidly ramping up and donations have already
started coming in. Not only do people have a chance to help out with a donation
but donors can win something too. As Geneva Brett put it, "...So imagine
that - you are helping keep one of our Los Banos children warm and you could win
a thousand dollars for you, yourself, your family or [to] donate back to Coats
For Kids - whatever pleases your little heart."

An
E-Ticket Ride!
Last weekend, fishermen and others who braved the winds
and visited O'Neill Forebay may have noticed something a bit unusual that some
commuters heading over Pacheco Pass have been wondering about for the last week
or two - chopper operations.
