We are ready to have some fun tonight at our Halloween Bingo in the Vineyard!

Our November Wine, Women and Wisdom social with Lavonna Martin (Director of Housing and Homeless Services, Contra Costa Health) prompted a new project for our club Project Homeless Toiletries. Women and girls make up a large portion of the homeless population. Various sundries were collected from members. Member Kathleen Mathis and Jan Valentine (to be inducted next month) made 25 bags on their own and with the donation’s members gave, another 51 bags were made. Lynn Gursky washed, sorted and bagged all the bras collected at our Share the Love Bunco back in February. A special thank you to Liberty Dental who donated toothbrushes, toothpaste and floss kits! All of the items will be dropped off at the Administrative Office of CCC Health, Housing and Homeless Services today for distribution to their homeless housing locations.

A big shout out of THANKS! to Linda Quilici - member, Gursky Ranch - Lynn Gursky, SI of the Delta, Lumpy’s, Audry Gonsalvez- President of SI of the Delta, Melissa Ahern from Devoted, Sueellen Pretzer - VP of SI of the Delta, and the Strrets of Brentwood for your wonderful donations of gift baskets and gift cards for our Halloween Bingo in the Vineyards.
