Mervyn's Spree Supports Children With Extra Discount
Spree purchases included an additional 10 percent off for buyers. Children could not attend. Kiwanis members and Mervyn's employees chaperoned them during the 7 am shopping. Martin Vejil, 10, said it was worth waking early for clothes. Christopher Green, 5, liked an orange printed shirt featuring lizards. Backpacks with school supplies were donated, and buses provided by local businesses filled the backpacks. The group then had breakfast at Burger King.
