CHRISTMAS CARING PROJECT

Inspired by Nurse Molly Maigret’s talk in November about the needs of sexual assault victims, the Board decided to ask club members to donate packs of new panties, socks, or sweat pants and/or tops at our December meeting. Victims must turn over their garments for testing and need fresh clothing to wear home. No gift wrapping necessary!
