March Luncheon Program

Our March Luncheon program was well attended. It was wonderful to see so many faces! Our President, Christine Matthaei welcomed all our new and old members.

Hilde Berdine shared the great news that we met our goal last month to raise the funds needed to complete the refurbishing of the playground at the Emergency Services and Homeless Coalition. We are thankful for the generosity of our members.

The Giving Circle Focus for March is Food 4 Kids. The cost of providing food for weekends over a twelve week period is roughly $8,000. If you would like to support the children of South Woods Elementary School, you can donate through our website or write a check directly to Food 4 Kids. If you prefer to write a check, please contact Adrienne Lyons, Liaison to Food 4 Kids.
