In addition to a delicious lunch, attendees heard 2 guest speakers, one from Live 2 Give Hope and the other from The Central Missouri Foster Care and Adoption Association (CMFCAA). Live 2 Give Hope focuses on serving the foster care community and provides their services in 18 Central and Southern Missouri Counties. Laura Gartin spoke to the members and explained what their organization is all about. The N/L Club members have been busy collecting backpack and bags to donate to Live 2 Give Hope and were anxious to hear all about their different programs. It was announced at the luncheon that Keller Williams has also donated 72 backpacks and 72 blankets in addition to what the ladies of N/L have donated and has agreed to be a drop off spot for more backpacks to be donated until May 5. So anyone in the community wishing to donate a new backpack or blanket can place their donation in the barrel at the KW located at HH and Bagnell Dam Blvd or at the Camdenton location on Hwy 54.
