COMMUNITY SERVICE
 

Pitch-A-Project  

Ken Yie brought our club a new project to help out the Manchester City Library with relocating books from one room to a newly renovated area, all within the Library.  This is a labor only need (no funds needed), and he is looking for 6 - 8 people to help out on Tuesday May 21st from 5:30pm to 8:30pm.  If you're able to help please reach out to Ken Yie!

Great job Ken for bringing us this opportunity to help.

 

Do you have a Pitch-A-Project idea? or know of a non-profit that could use our help?  Download the Pitch-A-Project form from our website and turn completed request in to Frank or Natalie!

Guest Speaker

Today Mickey Cockrell of Catie's Closet visited to talk to our club about her organization.  Catie's Closet does wonderful work by creating "in-school discreet shopping" for lower income kids in an effort to keep those kids in school.  Basic needs such as toiletries & clothing are provided free to those who need it.  All items are 100% donated into this program.  To learn more about Catie's Closet, you can visit:
