Community Activities
I want to remind everyone about donations for Harbor House, battered women's shelter, donations. Clothing, toiletries, food - just about anything as what they don't use or need they will put in their re-sale shop to raise funds for their shelter.
I also have names of military personnel that we will "adopt". Can we just put a reminder about our "Adopt-a-hero". If anyone wants to donate gum, candies, toiletries that can be shipped overseas. I will bring their names and addresses to the next meeting.
Let me know if you have any questions.
