The popular frozen yogurt shop in Annapolis Towne Centre has dedicated 10 percent of its proceeds in April to the local center that works with cancer patients.
Kathy Koelle is a breast cancer survivor of four years. She’s also the co-owner of Menchie’s frozen yogurt in the Annapolis Towne Centre at Parole. There’s not many scenarios when the two aspects of her life go hand-in-hand.

K&B True Value in Annapolis donates $475 to local schools.
Some local parents helped raise money for Annapolis schools just by going to their neighborhood hardware store, K&B True Value on the corner of Forest Drive and Bay Ridge Avenue. The store offered an extra incentive for parents to purchase home improvement and landscaping supplies by donating part of the sales to schools. As part of the Cash for Schools program, K&B True Value gave a percentage of the purchases to local schools when parents and other members of the community used a coupon through Oct. 31. "We started the school donation program as a way to give back to the communities that support us," said Jared Littmann of K&B True Value in an e-mail.
