State Sen. Jeff Smith is leading a drive for back-to-school supplies, and is offering a reward fit for a political junkie: The entire HBO John Adams mini-series on DVD to the person who donates the most supplies. (UPDATE: It’s Smith’s drive, but the Young Dems are offering the prize to help out.)
Smith is seeking ten of each of the following items:
- pens
- notebooks
- markers
- folders
- pencils
- erasers
- rulers
- calculators
- glue
- crayons
- colored pencils
The drop-off point is at 2000 S. 39th Street, which is between Shaw and Russell near Tower Grove Park. Contact the Young Dems to make a donation. The deadline is July 17, two days before Smith’s annual 3-on-3 hoops tournament in Fairground Park
