Tootsie Roll Drive Chairman Tom Zarlingo (right) and Grand Knight Craig Brewer make the first donation for the Knights of Columbus Council 1263’s 52nd annual Tootsie Roll Drive, which will take place this weekend Oct. 11-13. Volunteers from the Knights of Columbus and the Ladies Auxiliary will be soliciting donations in exchange for Tootsie Rolls. This year’s goal is $5,000. After $200 donations to the Southeast Missouri Special Olympics and Special Olympics Missouri’s Training for Life campus, half of the remaining total will support the Lucas and Friends Backyard Adventures playground at Robert Miget Park in Perryville. The other half will support the Knights of Columbus Development Center at Cardinal Glennon Hospital for Children of St. Louis.
