We completed our first DIAD at our GMM on October, 23, 2018.
We were able to fill 100 duffle bags full of necessities such as: shampoo, combs, shaving cream, lotion, toothbrushes, deodorant, etc. These duffle bags went to the children in the Help Our Kids, Inc. program. Great job, ladies!

We had a wonderful time at our Sustainer Luncheon at the Longmeadow Country Club! Thank you to all who were able to join us!
