Sistren receives donation, Dr. Barbara Matalon addresses YOU

On March 28, 2013, the Canadian Women's Club was a generous donor to Youth Opportunities Unlimited, a non-profit organization that works with at-risk youth from Kingston's inner-cities. The CWC donated enough funds to cover the provision of food for an event hosted at the Liguanea Club. In attendance was Dr. Barbara Matalon, who addressed the crowd, which included students and faculty from Western Carolina University in the U.S., Mountain View residents and others associated with YOU. Without the CWC's donation, the event would not have occurred.

The first picture shows Dr. Erin MacLeod and Dr. Barbara Matalon donating a printer/scanner and materials to the Sistren Club. The CWC bought these new items for this non-profit organization that uses the performing arts as an outlet for underprivileged and abused women.
