Woman’s club provides holiday treats for troops
Clayton Valley Woman’s Club Blue Star Moms co-chair Kathleen Horvath, left, co-president Joan Bergum, Blue Star Moms co-chair Kathy Olson and co-president Linda Garden helped create the care packages.

At the monthly meeting on Oct. 8, members of the Clayton Valley Woman’s Club (CVWC) brought items for the Blue Star Mom’s holiday care packages.

CVWC “adopted” the Contra Costa Blue Star Moms as a service project in 2006, donating to the care packages sent to our overseas troops for the 4th of July and the holidays.

In 2019, CVWC members donated $777 toward postage and supplies. They also prepared 150 creamer/sugar/stir stick packets, folded and stacked more than 800 Sunday comics and sewed 200 patriotic pillowcases for the care packages.

Throughout the year, CVWC also raises money for Silverwood Elementary School, Friendly Manor, the Lion’s Club, STAND! For Families Free of Violence and the SHARE Food Pantry. Coins collected at meetings help Heifer International and Pennies for Pines.

CVWC meets at 10 a.m. the second Tuesday of each month at St. John’s Episcopal Church, 5555 Clayton Road, Clayton. New members are welcome.

For more information, call Joan at 925-672-4597 or Linda at 415-652-3503 or visit claytonvalleywomansclub.org.
