The Discovery Shoppe volunteer Pam Bodnar, right, had the honor last week of presenting an $8,100 check to Jana Lawton, President of the American Association of University Women. The funds will sponsor several amazing local Chico junior high girls for the UC Davis Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, or STEM, Summer Camp. The camp inspires young females to consider careers in these fields. Many of the American Association of University Women (AAUW) former campers have had a significant impact in making positive changes in the community and beyond. Pam sponsored the AAUW to receive the grant. The Discovery Shoppe, 315 Flume Street in Chico, is run 100% by volunteers and all proceeds go back into the community. This year they awarded over $135,707.00 to fifteen charities.
How to submit a snapshot
Snapshots, reader-submitted photos of community events, are published Monday. They may include service projects, guest speakers at club meetings, awards being presented or kids doing school projects. Just make sure there are people in the photo — no more than 12 — and keep it current.
Send a high-resolution JPG with a paragraph explaining the content of the photo: who (in left-to-right order with last names), what, where, when and why to [email protected]. Non-digital submissions will not be accepted at this time.
We can’t accept photos about businesses, private events or those adorable pet photos.
