Denver Small But Mighty ;\; WE sent ten dollars to the Nu Chapter for their fund for Jane Briscoe and hoped our little contribution would help her folks. The past few years we have contributed over 50 garments for the eedlework Guild and we will participate in this project again this spring. These garments are distributed to many agencies in D enver through the welfare department of the city. W e also take our turn in furnishing the refreshments for the "Come and G et It" Hour at the local USO . Our girls will make the sandwiches and spend a Sunday evening there on M a rch the 23rd.
