Pioneer Club News & Updates
   What a great service project in Pioneer Club!  We learned a lot about foster children and raised enough money from the bake sale to buy: 13 packs of diapers, 140 pairs of underwear, 96 pairs of socks and 25 backpacks. Plus, we had 2 suburban vehicles full of donations from people in the church. Thank you so much for your donations.  The director of Legacy closet was very grateful.

Also, note that Thursday, April 16, will be the last Pioneer Club meeting for this term.
