Excerpt
In the spring of 1968, shortly after the Los Angeles Chapter of LHRAA was organized, plans for implementing a summer recreation project were made. Target for the first year was to present sewing classes for teenage girls caught in innercity communities where recreational resources were in short supply. A newsletter to some 350 Lutheran churches in Los Angeles and Orange Counties elicited used sewing machines, money and yardage with which to supply the classes, and women volunteers to teach. That first summer, six sites were staffed with a total enrollment of 150 girls.
