LRADAC Women's Center

From Sarah Powell, Pro Bono President:
I was with group 8A, Section 2, at LRADAC Women's Center where they were clearing out a section of the yard in order to put up a privacy fence.

  2. More applause!!
    I was delighted to have the opportunity to meet most of the students who assisted in clearing the fence line at our Women’s Community Residence (WCR). They were AWESOME! Each and every person worked so hard – and they all did it with a smile. They told me they were motivated – it was HOT. They had some great questions and comments about LRADAC and the WCR. Thanks so much for asking us to participate. It was a wonderful experience.
