Drawings will take place for jackets in the following sizes: Adult male and female 2X, XL, L, M, and S jackets which will give a person 11 chances to win a very nice jacket. Each jacket is retailed at approximately $150.00 - $250.00 You do not have to be present to win. Tickets are being sold at the Douglas Police Department. 

Monetary donations are needed to help the committee continue to provide for families in our community. To make a monetary donation for the Community Toy Drive, checks should be made payable to the City of Douglas, Memo: Community Toy Drive, 211 S.
