The ABC (Associated Builder and Contractors, Inc.) Women’s Council is hosting a Back to School Supply Drive and reminds contributors that items are needed by Aug. 10. Items needed include glue sticks, pencils, pens, colored pencils, markers, notebook paper (wide and college-ruled), rulers, pocket folders and composition notebooks. Tax-deductible donations are also welcome–make checks payable to Child Guidance Center.
