The group consists of nearly 75 women volunteers who serve throughout the Tri-Valley.

For the past twelve years, the group has provided clothing for nearly three thousand children in the Tri-Valley. Last year, the women invited more than 400 children in need to a local Kohls to personally choose outfits for school.

Among their additional accomplishments, they've provided books and clothing for elementary school children, provided birthday bags full of gifts for children in shelters, companionship for the retired and elderly, and mentored and tutored teenage parents.

The women participate in several outreach programs throughout the year in an effort to donate more than 7,000 hours of time.

The upcoming Mad Hatter's Tea Party is the major fundraiser of the year and guests purchase tickets for an afternoon of tea, music, silent auction and prizes. The event also includes a spring fashion show by Chico's.

You cannot compare the behavior of a wild animal versus a domesticated animal.

Actually, Pit Bulls are one of the most well-behaved, well-trained dogs out there, to both theirRead More owners and their familes, if they are trained to be that way. Only drawback to Pits, though, is that they drool a lot, just like any other hunting dog out there. Back in 2009, there was a story in Berkeley about how a Pit Bull saved her owner's life in a house fire, and all anybody could see was that it was a Pit Bull and nothing more. If you train a dog to have a nice and sweet disposition, guess what, the dog will have a nice and sweet disposition. And if you train a dog to fight, maim and kill, guess what it's gonna do? Doesn't matter the breed. I've known Dachshunds who were mean and resorted to biting in an instant as I have known Pit Bulls who were nice--but slobbered a lot. And about the only reason that Pits have the reputation that they do out there is more to do with the viewpoint of the person who believes that all Pits are dangerous to begin with and that perhaps one of their other biases may be a work here, like they hate people whom they believe to be "trash" or "thugs" perhaps, but that's more an indication of their prejudice than their experience with these dogs or any other breed out there. I've known Springer Spaniels out there that started out as sweet dogs with nice dispositions, but as they aged and their brians atrophied into cancer, they turned into vicious dogs and had to be put down. Like people, dogs are individuals, too.
