The story behind a sweet success of Lady Fortunes!

The Meadowlark Service League, a philanthropic group of women, donated $237,300 to various groups at a June 4 luncheon at Spanish Hills Country Club in Camarillo. The league awarded $25,000 in college scholarships and $212,300 to 32 nonprofits that benefit the community.

On April 29, nearly 60 associates from Bank of America in Ventura County volunteered on and offsite to participate in a thank you campaign, making 750 telephone calls to FOOD Share donors, scribing thank you letters to 150 partner agencies and 31 brown bag agencies, and processing thousands of pounds of rescued food for those in need.
