Among the myriad acts of community service in its 66 years of existence, this remarkable club has planted 100 trees that now shade Pere Marquette City Park, supported tourism in the city by conducting tours of the Bolduc House and running the gift shop. They have supported local students with various scholarships totaling over $117,000 and offered many other opportunities to enhance education.
The club has donated cash and in-kind gifts equivalent to more than $130,000 to an institution for girls in crisis called Girls Town in Fulton, Mo., and helped raise $75,000 for the Girls Town sewer system in 2008.
