Les Soeurs, a local women’s group that raises money for scholarships at Northwestern for women, held its August meeting at Watson Library.

Members were treated to a program by Donna Baker, University Archivist, about the Melrose Collection and others associated with it.

The group also welcomed four new members this summer: Melanie Johnson, Pam Frame, Megan Bostian, and Ali Rhodes.

Les Soeurs’ main fundraiser is a spring bake sale during the Farmers Market on the riverbank. All money collected by the group goes directly to NSU.

A group photo included seated members Sue Hortman, Pam Frame, Rosie Finical, and Gail Hines. Standing members were Brenda Rinehart, Charlotte Cross, Lisa Salter, Ali Rhodes, Anita James, Arleen Mayeux, Kerri LaFornara, Pat Pierson, Lisa Prudhomme, MaryAnn Nowlin, Marion Johnston, Lisa Davis Mitchel, Brenda Melder, Nancy Rutledge, Julia Jennings, Rena Baudouin, and Becky Green.
