Their first order of business was to approve donations to a local orphanage and service to the blind. All motions carried:$100 to Cheerfield Farm; $25 to the blind; $15 to a local orphanage. The commitment to the community and women as catalysts for change continues with 1,600 members, representing one of the largest groups of volunteers in our city and Junior Leagues in the world.
