Brentwood Car Audio and One Warm Coat®, warming communities…one coat at a time

Forty-five million Americans are currently living in poverty. For these families and individuals, a warm coat is a budget extra they simply cannot afford. Brentwood Car Audio invites area residents to make a difference in your neighbor’s lives by donating coats and dollars during our upcoming coat drive.

Brentwood Car Audio is working with One Warm Coat® to collect clean, gently used warm coats, and dollars to support the coat drive program, now through December 19, 2015, at 1921 Verne Roberts Circle, Antioch (Right Next to COSTCO). The process is simple: you drop off your extra coat(s) and Brentwood Car Audio takes care of the rest. All donated coats will be given to a local agency for distribution to local children and adults in need.

Customers who do not have a coat to donate can still get involved:

• Text “WARM” to 80100 to donate $10 to One Warm Coat® or

• Visit www.onewarmcoat.org/donate.

All Brentwood Car Audio customers who donate coats will receive either $30.00 off* the purchase and installation of a Stereo, $50 off* the purchase and installation of a Car Remote Starter or $50 off* the purchase and installation of Seat Heaters for your vehicle. *Please see the store for details.

“For more than 20 years we have been working to provide a warm coat to anyone who needs one,” said Jennifer Stockard, President and Chief Executive Officer of One Warm Coat®. “We are so thankful for our many coat drive ambassadors, like Brentwood Car Audio who volunteer their time, resources and energy to help their neighbors in need. Together, we can reach our goal of warming one million people each winter, one community at a time!”

One Warm Coat® is a national non-profit organization that works to provide a free, warm coat to any person in need. One Warm Coat supports individuals, groups, companies and organizations across the country by providing the tools and resources needed to hold a successful coat drive. Coats are distributed in the communities where they were collected, to children and adults in need, without charge, discrimination or obligation. Since One Warm Coat’s inception in 1992, they have worked with their volunteers to give away more than 4 million coats and spread awareness about the need for warm coats.

The “Fund A Wish Drawing” winners were chosen during a reception at Cypress Meadows Assisted Living in Antioch, last Thursday, October 1^st . The AEWF Board Members, who sold the tickets this last month, joined about 75 guests at the reception, hoping to win the big prize. Those in attendance were treated to appetizers catered by Rita Caruso and her sister Charleen Early, and wine from Oakridge Winery, thanks to Denise Stanley.

The $1,000 was won by Amanda Stockford, the daughter of Board Member Julie St. Andre. The $750 was won by Executive Director Mary Chapman’s sister and brother-in-law, Susan and Mike Taylor, of Fair Oaks. The $250 prize was won by Jack Monroe, a former Board Member.

“Many more senior wishes will be granted with the money raised from this event,” Chapman stated. “Thank you to everyone who supported our fundraiser.”

The Antioch Police Department is excited to announce the 64th Neighborhood Cleanup Program. This is a collaborative community effort which involves active participation from The Antioch Police Department Crime Prevention Commission; Neighborhood Watch Program; Volunteers in Police Service; community volunteers and the Public Works Department.

Collectively, “We”, everyone who works and lives in the City Antioch, can make a difference and improve the quality of life. It’s our community and it’s our chance to make a difference.

The City of Antioch Neighborhood Cleanup program is not just for residential neighborhoods. It is a program that will change venues on a monthly basis and it will include business and commercial areas as well. Neighborhoods that are free of trash and refuse are inviting, and a clean community instills a sense of community pride.

The 64th Neighborhood Cleanup event will occur on Saturday, October 3rd from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. at Village East Park on Gentrytown Drive. Please park in the circle of Pear and Cherry Streets.

Volunteers will receive instructions and the equipment necessary to accomplish the goal. The targeted area is within walking distance. Excluding inclement weather, future Neighborhood Cleanup events are scheduled for the first Saturday of every month and the locations will be announced in advance.

Remember, cleaning up your neighborhood can make life better for your family, your neighbors and your community.

Members of the Antioch Rotary Club present a new, 60-inch TV to representatives of the Antioch Senior Center on Friday, Sept. 25.

On Friday, September 25th, the Antioch Rotary Club’s President Stacey Duckett, along with several other Rotarians, were pleased to present members of the Antioch Senior Center with a 60-inch, smart, big screen television that will assist them in many activities at the center including: computer classes, seminars, workshops, AARP safe driver’s courses, Wii Activities, Line Dancing and Movie Day.

The new, advance television can also act as a projector for lectures and instruction.This television replaces an extremely small 32-inch television which was way too small for any sort of theatre use.
