To: MGDWC Members and friends
A member of one of our sister clubs (DeKalb County) is helping a charity collect (new)cotton panties for Haitian girls who have no underwear. Imagine being so poor that you cannot afford to buy underwear for your daughters. Those kids are often seen sitting bare-bottomed on the dirt. Makes me sad just thinking about it. I have pledged to help collect panties, which will be sent to Haiti. If you want to contribute to this project, pls bring a package of panties, any size from little kids up to teens, to the MGDWC meeting on June 20. I will be responsible for mailing them. You can get packages of panties that are good quality and cheap at Family Dollar or Dollar General. I think they sell Fruit-of-the-Loom brand. Also Wal-Mart should have good prices.


FOOD DRIVE! Margaret Ford, in connection with the Obama campaign, is collecting canned goods and toiletries (soap etc). The beneficiary of the food drive will be New Hope Center in Warner Robins. Please add this to the notice to members. If they would bring a canned item or a bar of soap or a bottle of shampoo, that would be great! I want to thank Margaret for undertaking this because, as you may know, my daughter Claudia lives at NHC and the home is having a hard time financially.

Thanks,
Tina
See ya there !

A TRIBUTE TO BETH PERERA

Members of MGDWC are surely going to miss our departing president, who also served on the Houston County Democratic Committee and the board of the Georgia Federation of Democratic Women. She did us honor as a club president, as a candidate for the Georgia House of Representatives, and as a delegate to the 200 Democratic National Convention. She also put in plenty of volunteer hours for other Democratic causes, such as the booth at the Georgia National Fair and the Obama campaign. Beth gave generously of her self, her time, and her resources to advance Democratic causes here and state-wide. We wish her the best of luck and happiness in Vermont, and I bet that within two weeks of her arrival there everyone within a hundred mile radius will be proud owners of a new item of Pampered Chef cookware! Good luck, Beth!
We will miss you!
