Gathering once a year around Christmas for a mother/daughter event, eight young girls who have been lifelong friends came together once again to earn money and donate to
a worthy cause. “We come together once a year to have a mother/daughter weekend
here in town at our daughter’s house,” stated Mary Gasperich, grandmother to a couple of the girls. “We started this tradition when we moved to L’Anse eleven years ago and have only missed a couple of years. This year there were seventeen of us including the adults.”
Gasperich noted that now that the girls are getting older and understand, the adults wanted to give them some experience with earning money and giving that back as a gift to
those in need. To read more, subscribe to the L’Anse Sentinel online, or buy a print copy at our local retailers.
