2016 – Helene Detwiler Scholarship Fund (Dotty York) 

*The Club financially supported “Building New Hope,” a 501(c)(3) organization based in Pittsburgh, PA, and Granada, Nicaragua by purchasing their products and advertising their wares. “Building New Hope” actively assists communities — primarily in El Salvador and Nicaragua — by selling fairly traded organic coffee and operating alternative schools and literacy programs for underserved and at-risk youth.  In 2008, the charity was recognized by the U.S. Center for Citizen Diplomacy for outstanding achievement in development of resources and citizen diplomacy.

GCM sponsored two contests in 2016 at St. Bernadette's School and hopes to do similar work in 2017 .  Third graders participated in the Smokey Bear Poster Contest to learn the five rules of fire prevention while the fifth graders participated in a Poetry Contest themed "Bees, Butterflies and Me." 

Monroeville Kinder Care requested GCM to work with their children, aged 2-12 years old, for two weeks in June 2013.
