Decluttering for a cause. Lake Oswego/ West Linn Soroptomist chapter members cleared out drawers, closets and garages for a novel fundraiser. They gathered useful but unwanted items and donated them in bulk to Value Village in Tigard. In return, the chapter will receive $ based on pounds of goods donated. Proceeds will be used to fund service projects. A win win!

Pictured, President Elect Marlene Everding with the haul before it was delivered. Also helping with delivery but not pictured, new member Kelly Bryan, Carmen Rusca and her husband, Tom. We filled 3 cars and a truck full of goods!
