Appeal from the DeKalb County Democratic Women

A member of one of our sister clubs (DeKalb County) is helping a charity collect (new)cotton panties for Haitian girls who have no underwear. Imagine being so poor that you cannot afford to buy underwear for your daughters. Those kids are often seen sitting bare-bottomed on the dirt. Makes me sad just thinking about it. Tina Simms has pledged to help collect panties, which will be sent to Haiti. If you want to contribute to this project, please bring a package of panties, any size from little kids up to teens, to the Macon County Chapter of MGDWC meeting on June 27. I will be responsible for getting them to Tina. You can get packages of panties that are good quality and cheap at Family Dollar or Fred's.
