Employees at the Lassus Brothers Handy Dandy store in Roanoke, along with representatives of the Roanoke Lions Club and Roanoke Elementary School, celebrate a donation of 452 sets of winter hats and gloves — one for each member of the Roanoke Elementary School student body. Pictured (front row, from left) are Gidget James, Laura Parker, Lisa Southworth and Alice Kenworthy, all of Lassus; Diana Bernard, of the Roanoke Lions Club; and Vicky Bair, of Lassus; and (back row, from left) Susan Wine, Mark Maul and Dillon Valenti, all of Lassus; James Vachon, of the Lions Club; and Chris Tillett, principal of Roanoke Elementary School. The Lassus Handy Dandy store collected the donations from the Lions Club, its customers and staff and will continue the program for three more weeks.
