We have had great success as a club with fundraising for the Uganda Project, thanks to the efforts of Jeanne Kramer!

 

Jeanne is doing more then just fundraising, she has "booths on the ground" and for the past 10 days Jeanne has been in Uganda working on the project first hand.

Photos can be taken at club meeting or you can email Lloyd a copy of a photo. If you need assistance please contact Pam, Lloyd or come to the New Member Summit for a log in review.
