Brothers & Sisters,
 
At our March meeting, Local 528 asked for donations from the members that were in attendance. I am pleased to say that we were able to raise $158.00 that day for The Ronald McDonald House of Providence. Based on the Wish List posted on the Ronald McDonald House website, we were able to purchase 8 sets of full-sized sheets for the rooms of families that stay at the house to be close to their children while they are hospitalized or receiving treatments.
