Clayton Valley Woman’s Club donates to community groups

The Clayton Valley Woman’s Club (CVWC) held its Celebration of Giving at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Clayton on May 14.

This year, the group presented checks to the Concord food pantry SHARE, VESTIA (Volunteers & Emergency Team in Action), the Clayton Community Library and the Clayton and Concord historical societies.

CVWC also provides a Diablo Valley College scholarship for a woman with financial need, excellent grades, community involvement and leadership skills who is transferring to a four-year university. This year’s recipient, Brittany Sartor, completed her associate degree with honors and was recently accepted to the Haas School of Business at UC Berkeley. She will begin her studies there this summer, with a focus on non-profit management and sustainable business practices.

Throughout the year, club members give time, money and items to various organizations, such as Read Across America, Vision Screening, Blue Star Mom’s, Heifer International and Pennies for Pines. Guests are welcome to attend meetings and social events.
