Members Corner
Hello ladies,
At our business meeting in March, our members donated a total of $300 to The Water Project. However, our donation was doubled today to $600 because of matching funds for World Water Day, a United Nations observance celebrated today, to spotlight the lack of access to clean water which impacts over 780 million people worldwide.
The project we donated to is a well and hand pump for a community of about 700 people in Kenya. Currently, they rely on seasonal rivers to fetch water to use for everything from cooking to bathing and drinking. The community members report frequent cases of waterborne diseases including dysentery, typhoid, ringworms, and other stomach complications.
Their new well and hand pump will be game-changer for the community, especially for the women and children who spend many hours fetching unsafe water from the rivers.

Hello ladies,
Hope some of you can join Cyndi Nolasco, our March Book Club Leader, on Friday March 20th at 6:00 pm at the clubhouse for our next Book Club discussion and potluck!
The book she selected is: The Girl Before by J.P. Delaney. This is the book that we planned to discuss in January but the meeting was rescheduled, so some of you have already read it. If you haven't purchased/read it, The Girl Before is available on Kindle through Amazon.
Here’s a short review of the book from Goodreads:
In the tradition of The Girl on the Train, The Silent Wife, and Gone Girl comes an enthralling psychological thriller that spins one woman's seemingly good fortune and another woman's mysterious fate through a kaleidoscope of duplicity, death, and deception.
Please make a list of every possession you consider essential to your life. The request seems odd, even intrusive - and for the two women who answer, the consequences are devastating.
Emma
Reeling from a traumatic break-in, Emma wants a new place to live. But none of the apartments she sees are affordable or feel safe. Until One Folgate Street. The house is an architectural masterpiece: a minimalist design of pale stone, plate glass, and soaring ceilings. But there are rules. The enigmatic architect who designed the house retains full control: no books, no throw pillows, no photos or clutter or personal effects of any kind. The space is intended to transform its occupant - and it does.
Jane
After a personal tragedy, Jane needs a fresh start. When she finds One Folgate Street, she is instantly drawn to the space - and to its aloof but seductive creator. Moving in, Jane soon learns about the untimely death of the home's previous tenant, a woman similar to Jane in age and appearance. As Jane tries to untangle truth from lies, she unwittingly follows the same patterns, makes the same choices, crosses paths with the same people, and experiences the same terror as the girl before.

Home Life
- At February's Meet and Greet I talked about the Home Life Committee and many of the projects that fall under this umbrella. One of them is the work we do with foster children.
One of our members was interested in the project where we collect small suitcases and duffel bags for foster children to put their things in when they move from home to home. This way they don't have to use black trash bags. The suitcases and duffel bags need to be in good condition. They don't need backpacks as someone else is providing those. If you have either of these items that you would like to donate, you could bring them to the monthly business meeting and I would gladly take them to the appropriate place. If you have any questions, email me at madcapmargaret@aol.com or call me at 951-966-8183. During the summer when there are no meetings, you could contact me and bring them to my house.
Thanks for your support'
Margaret Van Hove - We will continue to work with Valencia Gardens Convalescence Home.
- We are collecting luggage for foster children who have no way to transfer their clothes when they move. Luggage can be dropped off at the County Foster Care: 10281 Kidd Street, off Tyler and Hole between 9-5 any day but Fridays. Please call first and ask for Monique or Diana Jamison.
- Hi, ladies! We are asking if you have any luggage, duffel bags, backpacks,etc. in good working condition that you would be willing to donate to the Foster Kids program for college bound seniors!

Camp Anza Project
On Going Project
Dear Members,
One of our projects that helped win us a first place award at District Convention is Camp Anza, which provides veteran and low-income housing. They need men's pants, shirts and or suits in good condition for going on job interviews. They do not need women's clothes at this time. They could also use toiletries and canned food to help the families make it through the month.
They are asking for drop-off on the last Wednesday and Thursday of each month at the main building. Ask for Jessica. The address is 5797 Picker Street in the Arlanza area off Van Buren Blvd.
Ladies, please call first before you go to Camp Anza, or call when you arrive there. They keep the doors to the big main building locked, and the Mercy House Services office is upstairs. They won't hear you knock!
Ask for Sarah or Jessica.
Phone: 951-689-0797
