A $1000 donation was given to Pathways before Christmas, making it
possible for Marlene Rouillard, Director of the Native American
Women's Empowerment Circle, to buy Christmas dinner groceries for 58
families. Marlene was able to provide the families with both turkey
and ham and 3 bags of groceries. And the Pepsi Center provided
wonderful brand new toys for the children of these families--battery-
operated toy cars for the boys and Barbie dolls and toy ponies for
the girls. This is the first time Marlene has had the resources to
give such a complete Christmas gift to some of the Indian families in
Denver. She sends a great big THANK YOU to the donors. The joy this
brought to everyone is tremendous.

from the most recent Studio Bernina newsletter. Studio Bernina, in
Boulder, CO, is owned by Susan Igou, one of the founders of our
sewing project:
...we are very proud of our students who are organizing an event to
benefit Studio Bernina's favorite charity, Pathways to Spirit.
Pathways to Spirit is a 100% non-profit corporation based here in
Colorado that works with the Lakota and other Native American peoples
towards the goal of creating a sustainable life in today's world
while still maintaining traditional values. On average 95% or more
of donations go directly to recipients. The Native American Sewing
Project is one of many projects that makes Susan's heart sing. There
are so many good things about this organization, we encourage you to
check out their website, www.pathwaystospirit.org.
