Crown Point Swim Club gives to Pediatric/Short Stay Unit

Children in the Short Stay/Pediatrics Unit at Saint Anthony Medical Center were the beneficiaries of a holiday season gift from the Crown Point Swim Club, whose members donated movies, music and video games from their collections to the unit. Spokesman Paul Wellman (not pictured) said the club wanted to give back to the community. "We knew there was a need out there – this is kids helping kids,’’ he said.
