Kalamazoo Area Wild Ones Program

Wed, 22 Apr 2015 17:36:09 -0400

Friday, January 16, 2015, retired physician, Dr. David Wendling spoke to the ladies regarding the utilization of native plants in local landscape. His involvement with the Kalamazoo Area Wild Ones has helped educate the community about this need. Planting native species helps our community thrive. This is even more important as their natural ecosystems become more compromised due to land loss caused by development and the rise of non-native invasive species. Please go to kalamazoowildones.org for more information.

Club has successful fundraiser

Sat, 13 Dec 2014 12:42:46 -0500

Members spent many months making their handicrafts in anticipation of the annual Wings Stadium Arts and Crafts show held December 6-7. Carla Noe-Emig, Homelife Chair, organized this event and worked on all the details since early Spring. Members worked with Carla in shifts throughout the weekend. Proceeds going to Heifer International were donated to the "Send a Girl to School" fund. The donation to Susan G. Komen will provide aid in cancer research, education, and advocacy. Thank you to members for their donations and to the community for supporting this project.
