This project will fund 250 girls so that they can learn a career in tailoring, computers and food preparation. She was looking to raise $4,000 and asked four members to participate in a 50/50 Paul Harris Fellow where they would donated $500 and the club would match $500. Nancy Hawthorne, Jim Lowry, Don Schadt and Stephanie Shannon all stepped up to participate!
