Women of
Champion
Forest,
We hope
you're
having a
wonderful
summer.
Thanks to
each of
you that
participated
in one or
more of the
spring
events
organized by
the Champion
Forest
Women's
Club. Each
was a big
success in
bringing
neighborhood
women
together for
fun and
philanthropy.
As you know
our main
fundraiser
each year is
the December
Luncheon.
In recent
years the
Luncheon has
raised over
$10K for
local
educational
and
community
causes.
It attracts
over 200
ladies from
the
neighborhood
who enjoy a
holiday
celebration
while
raising much
needed funds
for our
designated
charity.
This year's
charity is
'WINGS',
Women
Involved in
Nurturing,
Giving,
Sharing.
The mission
of WINGS is
to provide
comprehensive
breast
health care
services to
women in
Central and
South Texas
regardless
of their
ability to
pay.
This
includes
funding for
breast
health care
services,
including
physicians'
fees,
outpatient
medication
and hospital
charges. It
is designed
to fund
treatment of
women whose
mammograms
indicate
anomalies.
Our
2008 Auction
Chair,
Susan Barris,
already has
planning underway
and we're
currently
seeking
donations
for auction
items. Please
check
your gift
closets
or consider donating
something special
you see
while
shopping
this
summer. Or
you may be
thinking of
a friend,
neighbor,
colleague or
contact who
may be
willing to
contribute
something
terrific so
please let
Susan know.
Susan will
take
donations at
any time. (drsbarris@hotmail.com).
We're
also looking
for
volunteers
to help
with the
luncheon/auction.
In addition
to securing
all of the
donations,
there are
many other
aspects of
work
including
decorations, entertainment, programs, name
tags and
more. Being
on the team
is a
wonderful
way to
support the
Champion
Forest
community
and have a
lot of fun
with your
friends and
neighbors
while doing
it!
Take Care,
The Champion
Forest
Women's Club
