Club members work on projects in their local communities and also provide support to district, state, and
international projects. A good example of this cooperation is the effort clubs give to Operation Smile. Local clubs make 'smile
bags' for the Operation Smile team to take with them overseas when they make mission trips to perform surgery on children
who have facial deformities. Clubs also donate funds to enable the medical team to make the trip. Club women throughout our
Commonwealth have participated on teams and contributed their personal time to make a difference in a child's life.
