Another Successful Bare Necessities Campaign

It's a milestone year - and - an effort that will see some less fortunate women some little but necessary personal care items.   
The Board of Trade's Women in Business Forum is wrapping up its 10th annual Bare Necessities campaign by delivering 45-boxes of toiletries to 24 organizations like women's shelters and food banks.
Last year - the group wrapped and delivered 40-boxes to 22-organizations.   
Each year the group collects the complimentary items like shampoo - soaps - and - lotions found in hotel rooms then boxes them up for delivery in time for the Christmas season.
This year - volunteers from the business women's group received some help from students at Loch Lomond Elementary and Brownies who sent along gift tags for the boxes.
