Bakersfield Condors News Release
Condorstown Update:
Condors Care-A-Vans: Once again the Condors have teamed up with Goodwill Industries to visit surrounding communities of Bakersfield for Condors Care-A-Vans. The Care-A- Vans are dedicated to helping spread the word about the upcoming Condors 2007-08 Anniversary season and aiding Goodwill in the collection of donation items. Together, the Condors and Goodwill will visit at least five communities in Kern County. Last summer, they visited Shafter, Taft, Tehachapi, Delano and Lake Isabella, stopping at locations such as hospitals, schools, fire stations, rotary clubs and libraries. If you, your organization or community is interested in having the Condors and Goodwill visit you, please contact the Condors Community Relations department at 324- PUCK (7825). Go Condors!
