Holiday Gift Giving
In the holiday season it is easy to get caught up in our own Christmas gifts and forget how fortunate we really are. It is crazy to think that as we open up our Christmas gifts this year, mothers and babies are battling neonatal/maternal tetanus. So give the gift of life this year and make a small personal donation to Project Eliminate. Helping others is the path to true happiness this holiday season.
I want to hear from you! Advisors and officers, I am here to help! Email me with questions or if you need ideas or assistance! I also would love to post your pictures from your
