Girls begin a Sewing Project for Haiti Orphans

We just completed our second week of sewing dresses for orphans in Haiti. Ms. Debbie Nichols has started a project to make 200 dresses for orphans on Ile La Vache off the southern coast of Haiti. The plan is to send these dresses with Capt Bob Nichols when he returns in May. The Girls Club was excited to help, as they would learn to sew while making clothes for some very needy children.

Ms. Debbie came with all the materials and several ladies to help. Calling on our team of sewing ladies from last year, we added our team and some new friends from the Bonita Quilters. Twelve ladies came to sew the first week!

We thank Ms. Debbie Nichols for her wonderful organization, and her friends Lois Botkin and Peggy Simmons, and Lu Burkell, Sue Price, Mary Anne Hopkins and Carol Knowles from the last two years of Girls Club sewing. We were also very happy to have Jane Chopack a friend of Mary Anne's, and Susan Buckler, Pat Huisjen and Kathleen Morningstar from the Bonita Quilters. We can't wait to see the finished dresses!
