    The South Everett-Mukilteo Rotary Club awarded $9,850 to the Mukilteo Boys and Girls Club during the Rotary Club’s meeting Friday.

    Chuck Davis, director of the Boys and Girls Club, said the money would be used to enhance the youth club’s after-school technology program, which provides computer training for children.

    The Rotary Club obtained the money through fund-raising programs it conducts during the year. All of the money raised through those programs is donated to charities.

    Irwin Mortgage and the Everett Silvertips are sponsoring a food and gently used coat drive to benefit the local community.

    Drop off donations 5-8 p.m. tonight and Friday at the Everett Events Center, 2000 Hewitt Ave., Everett.
