In December 2020, 55 scarfs were hand made by members
of the Herndon Fortnightly and Herndon Woman's Club
for the Foster Care 2 Share Red Scarf Project.

Due to covid-19, planning for fundraisers and other activities
are handled mostly on line. Members have found time to meet in downtown Herndon - wearing masks -
to take a short walk.

Each month during 2020, members have presented 125 birthday bags to residents at Harbor House.

Build a makeshift shelter
Extend a security strap or rope to reach and haul heavy objects
Create a harness to extract an injured person from a bad location
