Rethinking a tradition: How a dip in cash donations affects Knights of Columbus' Tootsie Roll Drive
By any measure, the Knights of Columbus #2191 club for Batavia and Geneva could say it has played its part in successful national efforts during the annual Tootsie Roll Drive fundraisers.
It's been relatively easy for any organization's leaders to realize people don't carry cash with them as often these days. During the holidays, the Salvation Army red kettles have seen this dip in cash donations, as have the weekly offerings at churches. Like many other organizations, it has caused the Knights to go about fundraising differently by starting an online campaign and building links on their websites for specific fundraising dates and even year-round donations.
The Tootsie Roll aspect is based on tradition, and the Knights are sticking with it for now. Personally, I like hearing that because I enjoy a Tootsie Roll after making my donation. The club's link for online donations will change on July 1, when its new fiscal year begins, but donations can still be directed through bit.ly/TootsieRollDrive2191 for last year's 2022-2023 campaign.
"People don't know where the money goes," Studlo said,"so we have a group of high school students helping us build a Web page and videos to show where the money goes." Less than two weeks later, the singers will bring"Sing, My Soul" on a June 14 to 21 tour in Saville, Carmona and Cordoba, Spain, as well as Marvao and Libson, Portugal.
He's been mayor of Batavia since 1981 and locked down his 11th term in 2021. That puts him in lofty company, putting him at No. 10 on a Wikipedia list of current mayors with the longest service time in the country. So, it's rather fitting that he gets this sort of recognition. That's an inside joke, only for those who remember the St. Charles-based Fox Valley Lassies, a women's slowpitch softball team that won a national title in 1977. Henry and Schielke had reported on Lassies' softball games during those years.
