"On behalf of Orrington Elementary School's third-grade Brownie Troop 1605 in Evanston, Illinois, I am very excited to present this check for $473 payable to Heifer International. The 25 girls in our troop worked very hard to develop, promote, and host a bake sale, and our donation reflects the total proceeds of their amazing effort. The troop has taken a vote, and would like to donate a number of animal gifts with the funds raised. Specifically: One water buffalo, one goat, two honeybee hives, and two flocks of chicks."

Holiday gift wrap at local book sellers	Presentation to Rotary Breakfast Club in Evanston

Presentation to Ravinia Elementary School. The school Care Club is doing a Help-A-Thon for Haiti. The children are raising money--all of which will be given to Heifer-- by doing chores around their houses and neighborhoods. Their goal is to give the children an idea about what has happened in Haiti, how people are moving from the devastated city into the rural areas of the country, and how Heifer will help.
