Volunteer Opportunities
We will be having two informational booths this summer to promote our club. The dates are listed below along with times. If you can help out by volunteering to take a shift, this would be very helpful! The one in July is during the Troy Garden Walk on the grounds of the Troy Historic Village, during the Arts & Crafts Boutique and the one in August will be at the Troy Farmer’s Market. The Troy Farmer’s Market is trying a different day and a later time to back up to the City of Troy’s free summer concerts near-by. Both of these are outdoors, but we will have a tent and chairs available. These are great opportunities for us to interact with the public and pass out our brochures to interested women.

Service Update
Thank you for your generosity for the spring service project – O.A.T.S. We collected $1,575 for O.A.T.S., the horse therapy program in Ortonville. We dropped off the check on the 26th and received a tour of the facility. We got to meet the horses and saw the other animals (cows, goats, donkeys and a very friendly pig) and found out our donation allowed us to adopt a horse of our choosing. We chose a cutie named Elf!
