Bettendorf Rotary members are determined to reach their goal of 800 blankets for their Acre of Warmth promotion! The event will end on Monday, November 1 and they still need 200 blankets to cover an acre.

One couple from Davenport, Nancy and Neil Russell, made 95 hand-made quilts to donate to the drive. Picture attached.

Quad Citizens are encouraged to drop off new or gently used blankets at the following Bettendorf locations:

K&K Hardware
Bettendorf Library
Bettendorf City Hall
Duck Creek Tire
Ace Auto Doctor & Repair
AAA

Businesses are also encouraged to do a blanket drive with their employees.

For more information or to see the warehouse with blankets, call Joe Campion, 563-343-78961.
