loves coming to meetings! She was introduced by Melissa Niver.
The scholarship

candidates. Also they will award $100 to ach of the finalists.
Please continue to
bring gently used or new bras, especially larger sizes for Lockport Cares. We

April 10 on your calendars for “Sunday for Scholarship” our annual fundraiser
for our scholarship. Lucille Cannata and Shirley Frombgen are heading up the
effort. You will be receiving more information in the mail shortly. Your
support is important to our club!
The basket
committee, headed by Rosemary Dever (434-9972) and Pat Kennedy (433-8848), is
looking for volunteers to assist with baskets. You can help once or many times.
Please give them a call. They are also looking for new items to put in the
baskets. Popular items are wine, gift cards and consumables. The baskets are a
major part in the success of our fundraiser. At our last meeting someone left
some wine and baskets for the committee. If this was you, please give Rosemary
a call so that she can add you to the list of donators.
