n addition to friendship and social activities, the Pi Beta Phi Alumnae Club of Contra Costa promotes and supports community service projects, with a special focus on literacy. The club comprises women from numerous colleges all over the country who now call this county home, including a significant number of Lamorinda residents.
Members were pleased this year to support another county-based organization, the Monument Crisis Center. MCC is a nonprofit family resource center for central and east Contra Costa County that provides food, helpful programs and referrals to low-income individuals, teens, families and seniors.
The club collected much-needed toiletries such as shampoos, soaps and lotions for MCC, and facilitated a book drive this spring to donate dozens of children's books to the center.
At the time of donation, MCC had a summer camp going and counselors were thrilled to get the new books.
