05/10/11 The Plymouth Knights of Columbus Council 1975 was out in force over the weekend passing out Tootsie Rolls for a good cause. 35 members of the Knights were at the intersection of Jefferson and Michigan as well as in front of WalMart and Kroger’s to pass out Tootsie Rolls in exchange for a donation. Overall, nearly $4,000 was raised and proceeds from the event will benefit Marshall-Starke Development Center and the Marshall County Special Olympics.
A similar fundraiser was held by Knights in the towns of Rochester, Walkerton and Knox over the weekend while Culver and Warsaw held theirs in April.
Plymouth Tootsie Roll Committee Chairman Joe Mersch said “The Plymouth Knights of Columbus would like to thank all people that donated money this past weekend. The generosity of the people of Marshall County is a great reflection on the wonderful community we all live in.”
