JEFFERSON — Knights of Columbus Council 16839 in Jefferson recently presented new coats to marginalized children of The Nest Alliance.
Receiving the coats was Michelle Dix, a coordinator for the welfare of children in Ashe County.
Representing the Knights were Deputy Grand Knight Sir Luis De La Cerda and his wife Lydia, Financial Secretary Sir Rick LaBonte and his wife Diane, and Trustee Sir Bob Breton and his wife Jill.
The children had big smiles on their faces when they received their new coats, Dix reported afterwards.
