She was an active volunteer in her community, kept up with her three children’s and eleven grandchildren's sporting and theatrical events. She was also blessed with 4 great-grandchildren.

She belonged to several bridge groups in the Lafayette area, some spanning decades with enduring friendships.

Discovering Art and Artists Group Has Two Great Outings Planned
A Whoopee-do Subaru! Trip with the Explore Indiana Group on March 28!
Explore Indiana took a return trip to Subaru of Indiana Automotive on March 28 and we were fortunate to have our 2015 tour guide, Allie Louthen.
Due to a recent expansion, Subaru can now manufacture three vehicles, Outback, Impreza (in the new building), and the Asent, available in dealerships in June.
Before fabrication and assembly, every car that rolls off the line has been sold to an individual or a dealer-ship and ships by overland freight haulers or rail cars after only a two day wait in the enormous parking lot at the plant. 1,000 to 1,200 cars are manufactured daily for an estimate of 417,000 vehicles for 2018.
Subaru is proud of its safety record, better than the national average; proud of its recycling effort, 99.97 percent of their waste is recycled—everything from plastic, paper, cardboard, metal shavings collected from floor sweeping, and food waste; and proud of its 150 capacity Child Develop-ment Center for associates’ infant to preschool children. There also is a health center and fitness center on the prop-erty.
Subaru’s two-mile test track has been designated as a Backyard Wildlife Habitat which is home to blue heron, bald eagles, deer and coyote.
Our fourteen Explore Indiana members peppered Al-lie with questions along the two mile tour route and saw cars moving along assembly lines through the Stamping Shop, Body Shop, and the Trim and Final area where a car comes off the line about every minute. Lunch followed at Nine Irish Brothers in Lafayette with lively discussion about the plant tour.
Several PWC newcomers attended this outing and were curious about what other interest groups the Explore Indiana members regularly attend. A roundtable discussion opened their eyes to the many possibilities to satisfy all of their interests. Story and photo by Melinda Bain

Pick Your Days for “PWC Volunteers!” in April and May
In April, PWC Volunteers! will be volunteering at the West Lafayette Public Library, an organi-zation that supports a number of Purdue Women’s Club groups through free use of the Library facili-ties. Each spring, the Friends of the Library holds an Annual Spring Book Fair. This is a major fundrais-ing event with all proceeds being donated to the Library for acquisitions of new materials and event pro-gramming. Each month, the Friends' monetary donation helps purchase over 175 new books, CDs, magazines, and DVDs, along with providing money for the Summer Reading Club bags, Little Free Library books, refreshments at a variety of events, and other needs as they arise at the Library.
On Thursday, April 19th, PWC Volunteers! will help with setting up for the Book Fair at 2 separate times: from 10.a.m.-1 p.m. and from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.
On Sunday, April 22nd, we will help with dismantling the vinyl record sale from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. On May 15th, 29th, and 30th PWC Volunteers are invited to join the RIP Squad. That is, to Remove Invasive Plants from our local nature areas. Invasive plant pull will be in the afternoon. Our target invasive species is GARLIC MUSTARD which shades out native spring flowers if left undisturbed. There is nothing more satisfying than to be outside in the Spring, helping Mother Nature make the world beautiful!
Please come join us! Fresh air, mild exercise, and laughter are certain! Watch for the signup information in the May Newsletter.

Black Rock
Into Nature meets Friday, April 20
At 1:30 p.m.
April 20th trip Into Nature will be carpooling to Warren County, to lovely NICHES Properties:
Weilor-Leopold, Black Rock and the Birdfoot Barrens, where we hope to catch the Birdfoot Violets in bloom. Some of us may be also adding a visit to Wabash Bottoms to see Eagle Nests. Weilor-Leopold The 179-acre property situated along the Wabash River in eastern Warren County features open oak savannas, wooded slopes, old fields dotted with boulders deposited by glaciers and a wonderful space to connect with nature. Among the natural area are 100 acres of bottom-lands planted with 30,000 trees in May of 2000 which returns its native forest habitat, and a 12-acre grassland area re-stored to native tall grass prairie. Birdfoot Barrens A section of the 100 acres sits in the Black Rock Barrens, a siltstone glade community extremely rare in the Midwest. Sixty acres are wooded; the remaining forty acres of bottomlands were reforested in the Spring of 2001. Although adjacent to Weiler-Leopold, the character of Black
Rock Barrens differs notably. Walk the adjoining trails sys-tems that meet in the shared parking lot to gain a feel for the distinct habitats. Black Rock is a 45 acre state dedicated nature preserve, protecting a portion of the very rare sandstone/ siltstone bar-rens. The southern exposure combined with the thin acid soils slows the growth of trees on the site. Black Rock is a prominent Mansfield sandstone outcrop rising over 100 feet from the Wabash River. There are no comparable outcrops for a hundred miles in either direction down the Wabash Riv-er. Manganese and iron oxides give the rock its dark com-plexion
Into Nature hikes are very dependent on the weather, so we urge our members to check their email in the morning of our outings, to get the latest information. If we know ahead that the weather won¹t be conducive to a pleasant walk, then we often are able to engage a speaker!
We meet on the 3rd Fridays of the month. For our full next year’s schedule please see our PWC
