Project Mom- Volunteers Needed

It's that time of semester again- Project Mom is coming up! Every semester we, in conjunction with the Women's Care Center, throw a baby shower for 3-6 local underprivileged mothers. Mark your calendars! The next one will be held on Saturday, December 3rd, from noon-2pm. There will be free food, games, and prizes available- make time to come and support these mothers' choice of Life!

We are going to need some help collecting donations in the coming weeks. The job is simple- collect domer dollars and cash at the LaFun elevator table and spread the word about the shower. We are looking for at least two people to sign up per shift!
