GCSB's Gayle Shackelford presents five sets of snowgear to Mary Kay and Don Hamilton, representing 3C's.

Winter can be a tough season to endure, especially if you don't have the right winter gear. In December, we donated 10 full sets of winter gear for kids - five each to two organizations - Children's Clothes Closet (3C's) in Panora and New Opportunities in Guthrie Center. Each year, these two organizations assist hundreds of children in our county and the surrounding area to outfit them for daily clothing needs. During our annual Christmas Open House events, we had lots of lucky winners of gift cards from local businesses. Winners included: Anthony Solorzano, Lydia Brown, Garrett Young, Jacqueline Trujillo-Garcia, Seth Ashby, Grant Cleveland, Nancy Simmons, Kristlyn Sweatt, Mary Ann Sheeder, Nancy Coffman, Lois Van Cleave, Sandy Rumelhart, Zach Cain, Maddox Nunn, Karleen Ploeger, Aaron Peters, Owen Hansen, Cheyenne Hester, Megan Allison, Dawn Larson, Sherrie Geopfert, Clark Millhollin, Kim Firebaugh, Rexanna Ketelsen, Vickie Klein and Jimmy Scott. Thank you to everyone who attended and congratulations to the winners!
