Keep These Kids All Wet
Imagine being the parents of a little kid who wants more than anything this summer to swim in one of Spokane's city pools. And not being able to afford a bathing suit.
You can fix that. You can make an online donation at www.spokaneparksfoundation.org; or you can drop off a new swimsuit at 315 W. Mission Ave. or during the morning showings of The Game Plan (June 23-27 at 9:30 am at the Garland Theater - please arrive by 9 am). Visit www.garlandtheater.com or call 326-5233 or 327-1050.
