| OPPORTUNITY FOR EACH CLUB GRANT SUBMITTAL FOR A PROJECT THAT YOUR CLUB WOULD LIKE TO SUPPORT In the next few weeks I will be placing on our Project Page the information you will need to submit a Club project for Chapter funding or Chapter funding assistance. Please discuss with your Club members some ideas that can be submitted for review. A committee will review each submittal to determine if it helps with the Chapter goals for our assistance to help active and lifetime members. The acceptance and level of funding for Club projects will be determined by the review committee. This could be the chance your Club has been looking for to complete a project that can help the community and give the Pioneers a chance to get our "Hands not just our pocketbook" involved. |
| Help Needed by your Chapter officers. We need your ideas for projects and worthy community activities that we can |
| Teach Up DOT The Gulf Coast Club help with donation of refurbished computers for use at the DOT site on the Mississippi Cost region. Check the club page for photos. |
| Helping Hands, Inc. Several of our members and life members help in shelving food items and the club provided a $300 check for supplies that Helping Hands, Inc could purchase.

| Treasure Chest for Back to School From the voice of a child: I just wanted to share a sweet story with you about how much your supplies meant to one little girl. A 2nd grader needed a book bag and all of her supplies. We gave her the book bag decorated the multi colored peace signs and filled it with supplies from her 2nd grade list. Her teacher gave it to her at the end of the day. She loved it! Today she brought the teacher a gift that she made to thank her for the supplies. She took a long strand of large gold Mardi Gras beads. She broke the strand into smaller pieces and made her teacher a bracelet, earrings, and something that looked like a balloon twisted into a dog to put on her desk. Is that not the sweetest thing? But it shows how much she appreciated it. Thanks again! |
| Looking toward tomorrow With the new year upon us it is a time that we can reflect on our progress, successes, failures and abilities to continue to grow in this new year. I would like to challenge each member to reach out to those around you and help them to become involved in a very exciting opportunity to share yourself with your fellow neighbor. |
