Lamour Printing printed this year's paper, which includes a drawing of a newsboy hawking a paper with the headline "Over a century of helping the needy of Monroe County." Hehl is heading up the charity drive for the Exchange while Jondro is doing the same for the Knights. Volunteers from both clubs will bundled up and stand outside in the cold wearing red newsbags around their neck to collect donations. The bulk of the sale will take place from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday at street corners and shopping areas in downtown Monroe and in Frenchtown and Monroe townships. The tri-fold paper will have information about the drive and photos put together by Bill McCloskey and Jondro, including one photo of Exchange members from 1933.

Proceeds from the sale will be used by both organizations to bring some food and holiday cheer for Christmas and to assist needy families throughout the coming year.
