Poptabs and donations April 08

86 pounds of pop tabs which translates into approximately 130,500 tabs by their counts.  Adding those to the count of the Nebraska Federation of Women's Clubs, we should be at 9 million donated after convention.  NFWC is the largest contributor to RMH.  Be proud and keep on drinking!  I helped put them in bags while I was there.  I saw the new kitchen and it is lovely.

They were most excited about all the gifts we sent to them.  Kevin, the director,  was most appreciative of your generosity.  They look forward to our June project.  We were talking a bit and when I mentioned the fact we would ask for volunteers and food next month, Paul (who organizes the meals by volunteers) wanted to know what we were cooking.  Pat, he plans to stay for dinner!
Thanks for another great project!

Members and friends check out the baskets before the auction starts.

Over $1000 was raised that evening!
