News GFWC-OK McAlester Fortnightly members are ending their 2008 year as busy as ever. The Cornerstone Creations Department Held their SOUP LUNCHEON in November to benefit cancer victims in our area. McAlester Hospice received a cash contribution from the funds raised during this fun event. Many thanks to all who worked to make this event a success and to those who donated their funds to receive a delicious soup lunch. Great team work enabled this group to pull this complicated event off. The Homemakers Department collected items for the local Battered Women's Shelter supporting the GFWC International President's project of Domestic Violence. Over 75 drawstring bags with toiletries inside were donated. The Ceramic & Crafts department collected canned goods which were delivered to charity. Casual Gourmet members continue work on the walking trail at Mike Deak Field improving the landscaping for residents who walk each day for their health. |
