Mrs. Vern Kotval, chairman of the 1970 “Little Red Stocking” Appeal in Eagle Valley Township, announced that the neighbor-to-neighbor fund drive will begin on October 19. Large “Little Red Stocking” envelopes are designed to be passed along to township residents who are asked to make a contribution and then pass it on to the neighbor who next appears on the envelope. This will afford every family the opportunity to voluntarily support the Children’s Home Society of Minnesota, our state’s only privately supported adoption agency.
