Lady Raiders Help in Project to Feed Children

The OCC Lady Raiders Basketball Team recently made a major donation to the Blessing in a Backpack Foundation.  The charity helps insure that impoverished elementary school children are fed on weekends.

Eighty dollars will feed an elementary school child on a weekend throughout the 38-week school year.  The Lady Raiders packed and provided 740 meals for this worthy cause.

This year over 300 works were submitted by women artists from across the nation. The works of 34 artists in a variety of media were chosen for display – an outstanding show well worth viewing.

This year’s juror is Marji Weir, an assistant professor of painting and drawing at Wayne State University. Ms. Weir has numerous shows to her credit, including solo exhibitions in some of New York City’s top galleries, as well as art installations in Georgia and Kentucky.
