Back-to-school Backpacks & Supplies
August Service Project: Thank you to everyone that helped coordinate, collect, deliver, and stuff the backpacks for the Neu-Life Community Development Center children! They are starting the school year off with the correct tools. Also, thank you to all that helped with the Career Day and distribution.

Twin Sheet Set Drive – April 2016 “Mini” Service Project
We are collecting twin sheet sets (white or beige) for CORE/El Centro in April. CORE/El Centro uses the sheets in their rehabilitation efforts (massage, etc.) with women healing from domestic violence. Please bring them to the April business meeting. Thank you!
Cookbook Drive – March Mini Project
Do you have extra cookbooks that are no longer used, just taking up space in your kitchen? Bring them to the next Club meeting (March 23rd) and donate them for HeartLove Place – Prostart Program!
HeartLove Place fills a major gap in central Milwaukee by offering the ProStart Culinary Arts Program, which trains and prepares participants to obtain entry-level careers in the food service and hospitality industry. This is a 14-week program founded by the National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation. Since its inception at HeartLove Place in 2002, ProStart has graduated over 500 people from the program and has helped place 46% in industry-related jobs. Other graduates have gone on to open their own companies, advance their education further, and take positions in other industries.
Got water bottles??
Mini service project for February 2016: The Club will be collecting new and gently-used water bottles for the Neu-Life after-school program. Please bring your donations to the February dinner meeting on the 24th. Thank you!
