3rd Annual Women’s Paddle Fundraiser
In early spring, Mary Meister and Barbra Schumann of Lake Forest co-hosted this year’s paddle fundraiser to benefit House of Peace, a domestic violence shelter for women and their children, located in North Chicago. 32 paddle players from Knollwood Club, Winter Club and other North Shore clubs raised more than $12,000 to help underwrite items needed for relocation when residents leave the shelter. The Esperanza Project, a special empowerment program at House of Peace, featured homemade jewelry for purchase. The ladies enjoyed a fun morning of paddle, along with delicious food and great camaraderie.
Esperanza Update
The Esperanza Project has been busy over the past few months! We have been teaching our new residents at the House of Peace to make rosaries and jewelry. Even the teens enjoy learning this skill!
We were happy to sell our handmade items at St. Pat’s Ladies Night Out in October, and at St. Mary’s Prelude in December. THANK YOU for YOUR support!
Upcoming sales include :
March – St. Joe’s ( Libertyville)
-St. Gilbert’s (Grayslake)
April – St. Mary of the Annunciation( Mundelein)
Our unique, handmade rosaries are a perfect gift for First Communions and Confirmations!
When you buy our handmade rosaries and jewelry , you support women who bravely seek transformative change for themselves and their children .
Our beautiful pieces are on display at the Most Blessed Trinity Office on Keller Avenue in Waukegan.
