La Conner Weekly News - Your independent hometown award-winning newspaper

The La Conner Braves’ Club is having a Teddy Bear drive. We are collecting new and gently loved bears to distribute to local children during this unprecedented time. Research indicates how stressful the pandemic is on children. Teddy bears are often given as stress relief for youth. The hope is to gather a huge hug of bears, 250-300.

Anyone wishing to donate to the cause can place the bears in plastic bags and leave them at the door of the Braves’ Club. With daily checks of the Club, the bears will not be out in the cold for very long. Each bear will be promised a home in the very near future:...
