Club members gave great support to the annual Strawberry Shortcake fund raiser this year. Despite some issues regarding the date change from years previous, the club worked this two day event at the New Seasons stores in the metro and Vancouver Washington area. Helping out with promoting the event in the stores this year was: Carole Martin, who organized the event and promoted it within the club, Evie Salvo, Faye Palmerton, Rebecca Liu (two shifts!), Babs Adamski, Kristine Clarke, Mariah Taylor, Louise Scott and Tina Kotek.
The money raised at all the stores is put into a single pot and divided among several worthy charitable organizations benefiting women and children. This year the event made $8640 and awards of $1440 each were given to:
Bradley Angle
Clackamas Women & Children's Services
Domestic Violence Resource Center
Raphael House of Portland
The Salvation Army West Women's Shelter
YWCA Clark County SafeChoice Shelter
