Bethany, MO: The BTC Bank’s Area Youth Benefit program donated $1,000 last week to the Bethany Rotary Club’s children’s shoe drive. For the past several years, the club has purchased shoes and socks for kids at Harrison County elementary schools and for the Rotary International Shoes for Orphan Soles program to be distributed globally.
