Gift for Teens project a success

The American Association of University Women’s Gift for Teens project this year was an unmitigated success. The goal was to prepare 900 gift baskets, but volunteers and donors provided 1,090 baskets and gym bags for teenagers of the Sacred Heart Community Service and the Bill Wilson Center. AAUW officials were especially thankful for the new donors as well as the many volunteers who donated their time. Shown at left, holding a basket are Almaden residents Norma Falkner and her sister-in-law Mary Montemagno.
