Helping to alleviate some financial stress for families, as well as supporting students' literacy development at school or home was the goal of our club's Pack a Pencil Case Project. 200 colourful and fun patterned pencil cases were sewn by members and local community members and were then filled with a variety of stationery items. Two successful fundraisers, generous community folk and discounts from local businesses covered the cost of the stationery and zips. Nine local schools and 4 support agencies gratefully accepted the pencil cases to distribute at their discretion.
