Contributions to March of Dimes Come In Slowly
Alpine and surrounding communities continue efforts for the March of Dimes drive with the Block of Dimes event slated for Holland Ave tomorrow from 10:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Last year the event raised about $342 and organizers hope for a better showing this year. Local leaders including B D Thomas and Morgan Chaney note the campaign has yet to meet a county quota, with less than $600 total raised so far and few envelopes returned. A March of Dimes dance was planned at the country club, and a new Big Bend Ministerial Alliance formed to promote church collaboration and evangelism efforts in the region.
