It’s your closet friend. You know. It’s that coat that you really thought about and finally broke down and brought. Sue it love at first sight, and it kept you warm and even earned a couple of compliments. But times and trends change and newcomers eventually replaced it. So, it was more or less put into closet retirement.
Now it’s time to let it “out of the closet” and be that special coat for someone who doesn’t worry about being a trendsetter. It’s a person who would appreciate the warmth your old cover buddy can provide.
Yes, parting will be tough, but facing the chill will be a lot tougher for some without a coat.
Now, how about a special? The Dallas Zoo is offering a free pass on Saturday, December 6, in exchange for “gently used or new cold-weather gear — your coat, gloves, scarf.” And they’ll make sure that it goes to The Stewpot for someone who will make it a good home.
Ah, if you’re already a member of the zoo and already get in free, your donation will get a guest pass for your donation.
By the way, check out the Dallas Zoo membership levels. Talk about membership having perks. Everything from free admission, monorail passes to free parking. Everything except taking one of the zoo residents home.
