Girls Club visits Estero Life Care

Seventeen girls spent last Saturday morning visiting the residents of Estero Life Care in Estero. Armed with homemade baskets filled with cookies and handmade cards, the girls went from one end of the facility to the other. They stopped to chat along the way and to share the songs that they know so well, singing of God's great love for all of us.

They loved to talk to a lady who spoke their native tongue, Spanish. She called them all her "ninos" (children)

Many of the residents had very interesting stories to tell. One lady had been a Rockette at Radio City Music Hall!

Lu Burkell and Mary Ann Hopkins treated everyone to lunch at Ci Ci's pizza, a favorite spot. We rounded out the day with a stop at the ice cream parlor. It was a fun day, but also a day for the girls to learn compassion and the importance of serving others.

Our Sewing Project is Finished!

Last Friday, the girls finished their aprons! With the skillful help of our team of sewing ladies! Great job girls! Several of the girls really enjoyed the sewing and would love to learn more. That is what it is all about at Girls Club, just giving girls an experience that would not otherwise have.

This was the first sewing project I ever made with my mother. There were four of us great friends who formed a club, and she taught all of us! She was a tea drinker, and every year we have a real English tea at Girls Club.
