Sparkle and shine by creating a unique project to support our partner St.Jude Children's Research Hospital, whose goal is that NO child dies of cancer. I encourage each club to donate the proceeds from their project to our GFWC MO Little Red Wagon of Hope campaign. Each district, club, and member is encouraged to become an advocate for a child or children's organization in your local community. Each of you is urged to become a voice for a Child, either by volunteering your time or money to a worthwhile cause. An excellent way to become involved locally might be to help with a reading program, become a volunteer for a Mother’s Day out program, help with a back-to-school bash, assist a teacher by assembling papers or cutting out craft projects to be completed by students or donate items to a local children’s home. These are just a few of the many needs of children.
Let’s all build dreams that sparkle with HOPE for our children.

COMMUNITY CONNECTION INITIATIVE:
REFRESH AND REVIVE
As a club, work with a local shelter, youth center, social service office, or other emergency location to add a little “sparkle” to one or many of their rooms. Club members can come together to clean, paint, and add new items to the room to bring warmth and caring into the surroundings. Invite potential members to join and work with local merchants on donating supplies for the refresh. Get the word out to your community on what you are doing and maybe one room can turn into many rooms that will assist with making the situation more manageable for the child.
