They've arrived — 3,396 coats for 1,734 boys and 1,662 girls in Detroit, Grosse Pointe and Harper Woods. It took a 53' and 40' semi-trailers to deliver the 566 boxes of coats to the Stroh River Place, which generously donated warehouse space for receiving and shipping. It took the volunteers 5 1/2 hours to unload the two trucks and sort the coats and to prepare to ship to the partner agencies/schools. Mike Carmody, right, Area 1 assistant governor for Rotary International District 6400, who launched the coat drive effort last year, was on hand to receive delivery of the coats, along with Rotarians from the A.M. and P.M. clubs in Grosse Pointe and Detroit.
