A semi-trailer in the parking lot of Sun Watch Archeological Park, Dayton, is being filled with school supplies and winter clothing for Red Bud and other Indian reservations in South Dakota. Last winter was extremely severe and the unemployment rate continues to grow. Volunteers were sorting sweaters, gloves, socks, winter jackets, hats, etc. plus notebook paper, pencils, pens, back packs, book bags,notebooks, desk calculators, art supplies and new dictionaries.

The semi-trailer will be there through next Saturday, August 15th, daylight hours. Sun Watch is not hard to reach if you go south on I 75 to Exit 51, go west on Nicholas Road to West River Road and then south to the Sun Watch sign on left side of road.

Submitted by Mary M. Morgan 937 767 1889 who made the trip in about 35 minutes from Y. S. and received copius thanks from the native American drivers and the volunteers (some from Yellow Springs) sorting and packing.
