LAST CALL FOR SHOES: The Mount Carmel Music program shoe drive concludes on February 21. The program is hoping to collect 2,500 shoes in order to earn $1,000 for its upcoming spring trip.  All contributions of new or gently used shoes will be forwarded to micro entrepreneurs in impoverished countries around the world.
