Hilltop Toasters, a District 19 club based at the East Moline Correction Center, could use help if you are so inclined. Because the club’s members are paid such small wages, it relies on outside donations to make membership dues. The current balance in the club’s Contribution Fund is $15, yet it must come up with $216 by October to remain a club in good standing, and more than $800 to meet member dues for the next six months. The club has 25 members – the most the prison administration allows – with a long waiting list of prospective new members.
To help the club, you can send a check made out to Hilltop Toasters to Hilltop Toasters, P.O. Box 425, Oquawka IL, 61469. Contributions are tax deductible. If you have questions, contact Don Wadleigh ([email protected]). More information on the club is available in the blog below.
