This week's rummage in the Advertiser's archives has uncovered this story from 2002 about fund-raising efforts by young people from Enable in Helensburgh.
Here's how we reported the story 15 years ago this week - how many faces in the photograph do you recognise?

THERE were smiles all round at St Joseph’s Church Hall recently, as hundreds of pounds was raised for a local children’s charity.
The Children’s Committee of Enable, which helps youngsters with learning difficulties and long term disabilities, raised £200 to go towards the group’s funds.
The children worked hard on the tombola and home baking stall to raise the impressive sum.
Committee members are also looking to launch the Saturday Gang which will be run every week but before this can happen the group needs new toys.
Secretary of the committee, Liz McCulloch, said: “We are mainly looking for collapsable toys that can be easily stored like table football but also things like hopscotch mats and space hoppers.
“The group also needs a shed for storage.”
