WE SUPPORT:
Guatemalan Women's Cooperative: Stephanie Tsuruda (801-230-3013), in Cannon Beach, OR, is helping the economics of an area in the Guatemalan mountains that hosts monarch butterflies. Her focus is on providing skilled employment for the women of the city. They certainly could use help, and make a wonderful set of beaded products. Monarch City USA has purchased the products and swear to their quality. To purchase, contact Stephanie or visit her Etsy shop.
Monarch Ultra: We are proud to be working with the historic Monarch Ultra Relay Run. Check them out at: themonarchultra.com!
