What:

The Camas Lions Club invites local media to cover a hands-on community service event assembling reusable menstrual pad kits for girls in need. The project features two volunteer teams—Sewing (bring a personal sewing machine) and Non-Sewing (pattern tracing, fabric cutting, Velcro cutting)—so community members of all skill levels can participate.

When:

Saturday, October 18, 2025

10:00 AM – 3:30 PM (Best visuals 10:15–12:00 and 1:00–2:30)

Where:

Who:

Camas Lions Club members, community volunteers, and partners.

This effort is in partnership with the Keeping a Girl in School Lions Club (Nairobi, Kenya) to support dignity, health, and continuous education for girls.

Why it matters:

Globally, lack of access to menstrual supplies can lead to school absenteeism. Reusable pad kits offer a sustainable, cost-effective solution that helps keep girls in school and thriving.

Media Opportunities:

• Strong visuals of collaborative cutting, sewing, and kit assembly
• Interviews with project leads and volunteers about local-to-global impact
• B-roll of finished kits and materials workflow
• Human-interest stories connecting Camas volunteers with girls overseas

Spokespeople Available:

• Camas Lions project lead(s) Su Scott & Sherry Keene
• Partner/liaison for Keeping a Girl in School (virtual or prepared statement, as available) Stephanie O'Dell - Camas; Ivy Kuira - Kenya
