'Tis the season to be giving. With holidays such as Thanksgiving and Christmas right around the corner, we sometimes forget that others may not be as fortunate to have things like presents or even food. The Lawrence Indoor Aquatic Center. 4706 Overland Drive is providing the perfect opportunity to give to those in need of help. The center asks that you provide non-perishable food items in exchange for $1 entrance into the pool. If you don't have any non-perishables just provide a dollar instead. The food drive ends Nov. 24. For more information, call 785-832-7946.
