The Countdown Begins!

Okay ladies this Saturday is our Teen LWML Event and Fall Rally! We will be having an in gathering for a Girl's Group Home in Salt Lake City. They care for teenage girls who are in state custody for a number of reasons which may include abuse and/or neglect. We thought it would be a great opportunity for the young ladies at our event to give back to girls their same ages, who maybe aren't quite as fortunate. We will be collecting Hygiene items and assembling kits to take to the Girls' Group Home, so PLEASE while you are out this week at the store (or make a special trip) pick up a few items for the young ladies at this girls' home.

Here are some suggestions:

Shampoo
Conditioner
Toothbrushes
Toothpaste
Non-aerosol hair care products
Hair Gel
Deodorant
Perfume
Body Spray
Lip Balm
Hair Bushes
Combs
