SC GREY BEARS IS DETERMINED TO CONTINUE OPERATIONS AS USUAL DESPITE A DEVASTATING FIRE. IN A STATEMENT RELEASED YESTERDAY (MON) THE STAFF SAID THAT ALTHOUGH SUNDAY’S FIRE (WHICH BROKE OUT IN A WORKSHOP AT 1:30 P-M) BURNED THE MAIN HOUSEWARES BUILDING TO THE GROUND, THE ADJACENT CLOTHING, MEDICAL EQUIPMENT, BOOKS, MEDIA, AND COMPUTER ELECTRONICS BUILDINGS WERE UNTOUCHED. WORK CONTINUES TO RESTORE THE POWER AND A GENERATOR IS BEING USED TO PROVIDE POWER SO THIS SATURDAY’S HALF- PRICE SALE CAN GO ON THIS WEEKEND AS PLANNED. IN ADDITION, THE BROWN BAG LUNCH PROGRAM, RECYCLING CENTER, AND E-WASTE DROP-OFF ARE OPEN NORMAL HOURS.
FOR THOSE WANTING TO HELP, THE GREY BEARS NEEDS MONETARY DONATIONS, AS WELL AS OFFICE AND HOUSEHOLD ITEMS TO RE-STOCK THEIR INVENTORY.
