Some of the interesting things our ladies are doing include making donations towards Thanksgiving Baskets that we ae preparing for 3 needy families in the community.  We are also involved in several school projects; mentoring children with their reading, helping the littlest ones buy Christmas presents for their loved ones, and donating childrens books to their school library.  Rather than have a "Grab Bag" at our Christmas Party, we purchase scarves, mittens, socks, etc. to donate to their "Christmas Giving Tree" at the school.

Several of our ladies are volunteering at the various "Bloodmobiles" that are held throughout the city.  In the Spring we will be doing a "Bakeless Cake Sale" and a "Pound Auction" to generate money to donate to the State Campership Fund.

One of the projects in the works is making "prayer shawls" to donate to cancer victims in the area.  Occasionally we are able to make donations to St. Vincent De Paul and other needy organizations in our vicinity.
