For the last 30 plus years the Suburban Woman's Club of Lafayette, along with other Northern California Federated Women's Clubs, have sponsored a sophomore from the local high schools to the Northern California Leadership Seminars. This year the seminar met in May at Menlo College, Atherton, California.

Hailey Finnane, from Moraga, was selected by the faculty and staff of Campolindo High School to represent our club. Students are chosen for their leadership and scholastic accomplishments. Hailey was an outstanding choice. She came to the club's June meeting and spoke enthusiastically of the activities the students were involved in over the weekend - the inspiring guest speakers and the lasting friendships made. Her enthusiasm was contagious.

The students returned from the weekend filled with a desire to begin volunteering and setting up charitable organizations in their communities.

Hailey was so impressed with her experience at the seminar she is looking forward to attending next year, on her own, as a junior.
