Last Weeks Meeting Recap

 
Last week we heard from Kenneth Jones, Director of Development from S.P.Y. “Safe Place for Youth” about what’s happening at the Center and how we can continue our partnership to help the growing number of homeless teens in our area.



Each week, we pass around a “change for change” jar as a collection for S.P.Y.’s Healing Arts Program.



 
We were pleased to donate $500 plus a huge supply of skin products courtesy of member Gail Goldstein!


 
Be on the look out for our upcoming SOCK DRIVE and other ways we can support this important work
