As the end of summer approaches, numerous charities are helping families in need prepare for the new school year by providing school supplies and backpacks for their children.<\/p>\n

At the end of July, 4KIDS, a faith-based ministry serving children in foster care, participated in an outreach event at Christ Fellowship. Many other churches, service organizations and nonprofit charities have been conducting similar back-to-school drives throughout South Florida.<\/p>\n

Speaking of service, South Florida\u2019s women\u2019s clubs have experienced a busier-than-usual summer. The Coral Gables Woman\u2019s Club has found Birdie Bistro to be the perfect location for several mini-fundraisers, including its monthly Gringo Bingo and a popular new event where guests learn and play Mahjong.<\/p>\n

Fundraising co-chairs Carmen Suarez and Rita Tennyson are to be commended for developing creative ways to support the club\u2019s free Children\u2019s Dental Clinic and its other charitable efforts. The two events were took place July 14 and 15 and will return with Gringo Bingo on Aug. 11 and Mahjong on Aug. 12.<\/p>\n

Shout out to Steven Bradley, Ruth Martinez and others for helping this writer with the event month after month and sponsors like Lynn Bauer and Hal Wanless, Jerry Kavulich, and Tom and Kim Davison. For more information, visit coralgableswomansclub.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Coral Gables club\u2019s sister organization, the Doral West Dade Woman\u2019s Club, will donate a portion of the proceeds from its upcoming Aug. 22 luxury party-bus trip and VIP after-hours event at South Florida PBS headquarters in Boynton Beach. Guests will enjoy two spectacular virtual-reality experiences, The Colosseum and Napoleon. For information, visit gfwcdoralwestdadewomanclub.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Coconut Grove Negro Woman\u2019s Club held its \u201cSignature Brunch\u201d on July 25 at the Coconut Grove Woman\u2019s Club, with proceeds supporting scholarships and other community outreach efforts.<\/p>\n

The Coconut Grove Woman\u2019s Club also hosts bingo nights and numerous other activities that have helped its membership grow to nearly 200. Kudos to club president Iline Davila and her members on reaching that impressive milestone.<\/p>\n
