Programs: The 2016-2017 year began with a bus tour. Some community partners, existing members, and prospective members visited the ywca, whaley's, and ele's place. Our visits included presentations from the facility directors or program directors. This helped members to understand what these organizations do for the community and help us determine how we can help them. We brought pre-arranged items including bed linens and clothing. These were donated by individual members who attended the event. This in conjunction with our fall new membership mixer provided an increase of 3 new provisionals. By the end of the year, we gained 3 new members. We also made a 2,200 commitment to ywca for their safe room. This will be used to purchase necessary medical supplies for the room in order to perform proper medical examinations. We also participated in habitat for humanity women's week and donated supplies to them as well. Each month we also collected needed items for our community partners to donate to their facility. This included toys for whaley's children and personal care items for the shelter of flint.
