During Officer retreat this past summer, the board voted to support a different organization each year for our Philanthropy.

Last year, 2007-08, we supported the Boys and Girls Club of Collin County. Kathy, the director, gave a wonderful presentation to our group. We also collected items for the center.

This year the board voted on the Allen Community Outreach Center.

Like building blocks, rebuilding the lives of a family takes many blocks, each carefully laid to build a foundation. The loss of employment, a family illness and unpaid bills can all cause a family to break down and create a feeling of helplessness. Help obtaining the skills to rebuild lives is available at Allen Community Outreach.

During the January Meeting we will have a presentation and will also collect items for the center.
