Miranda's trunk was FULL of new pillows and other items for the donation to HOPE! Thanks to all for who donated to Hope for their generosity!!! On Thursday, May 8, HOPE held a brunch for the women who utilize the shelter's services. At the brunch they were distributing the "Chicken Soup for the Mother's Soul" books that the League purchased and donated. I'm sure having a new pillow for them to sleep on was much appreciated as well. Thanks Miranda for organizing this community service project and handling the distribution of all of our materials!!!
Nan reported that the League has over $7K in checking and another $5K in CD. The League has become a member of the Fairmont Chamber of Commerce. Thanks Nan for continuing to handle our finances with such care and for executing the administrative aspect of us joining the Chamber of Commerce!!!

Julia Pierpont Day is May 24th. As a result, the League is making a donation to support Girl Scout Troop #5715 to purchase flags for the veteran's graves. (Trivia nugget: Fairmont’s Pierpont is credited with initiating Decoration Day in 1866. A national Decoration Day was proclaimed in 1868 and was renamed Memorial Day in 1882. Julia's hubby wasn't so bad himself, Francis H. Pierpont, was elected Governor of Restored Virginia in 1861 and is more commonly known by WV trivia buffs as the "Father of West Virginia.")
Paula will be coordinating the League's participation in the Marion County Partners in Prevention at Wave Tek Pool on Saturday, June 14th from 6-9 PM. She'll post/email more information on that community service event when it comes available.
