Frank Canova of Diablo Valley Cabinetry of San Ramon was given the Making A Difference award at our April meeting.  His donation of a beautiful custom hand-crafted counter for our Thrift Shop has made a difference that will last for years to come!

Our chapter held it’s first annual Leadership Celebration on March 27.  Chapter leaders enjoyed wonderful companions, great food, and fantastic success stories.  Thank you all!  Without you we could not fulfill our commitment to the community!

Congratulations to Mary Jo Brady, this year’s Ada Edwards Laughlin Award winner!  This award is given to outstanding members who do their work out of the spotlight.  Without members like these we would not be able to run as smoothly as we do.  Thank you Mary Jo!

This children’s book promotes literacy through an engaging story about the joy of volunteering.  Copies are available for $9.95 each plus tax at the Thrift Shop at the Way Side Inn in Lafayette.  Drop in to the shop and pick up a copy while supplies last!

When Hugo, a manager with Wells Fargo volunteered to help prepare school uniforms for local children through Assistance League’s Operation School Bell program, things seemed strangely familiar.  He soon remembered that as a child he had received clothing from the program!  Our programs reach into so many areas of our community and have a LASTING IMPACT.

Wondering about this big pile of blue bags? This was a donation of 250 uniforms that the Assistance League of Diablo Valley donated to Heights Elementary School. Along with the uniforms, we also provided 450 vouchers for shoes! Principal Francis says, “This is such a great partnership and we thank you so much!”
