Bone Marrow Donor Drive, August 9th
There is a bone marrow donor drive on Saturday, August 9, downtown at Boise City Hall, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. It's FREE and all it takes is a cheek swab. St. Al's closed their donor donation this spring and St. Luke's is closing in September. People can hit the Farmer's Market and then go to the event!
Little Black Dress Club member Kimberlee Bratcher says, "In 1990, my best friend and I road-tripped to Sacramento, California to the nearest bone marrow registry site. Though it’s been 18 years, I’ve never been called to donate. But the registry has kept track of me through 8 different moves and I wait for the day that I’m called to potentially save a life."

Little Black Dress Club Lends an "Extra Hand" for ALS
This past Saturday Little Black Dress Club members had the privilege of doing a volunteer project for Sharon, a wonderful woman with ALS who needed a little help around the house. We washed windows inside and out, and planted some pretty, colorful flowers in the yard.
Thanks to Sharon's awesome grandson Jason for all of his help, and to Fred Meyer for providing the flowers at half-price. Thanks also to Sharon's neighbors Jim and Travis, who came over to fix Jason's basketball hoop!
