MIDDLEBURY -- Using a little ingenuity, three students at Westover School have breathed new life into the school's 94-year-old Dorcas Fund.
Named for a Biblical woman who spent her life making clothes for the poor, the private school's Dorcas Fund has been used to benefit local and national charities since the school was founded in 1909, said Director of Publicity Joan Anthony.
Though the fund originally grew out of the proceeds from the school's annual Dorcas Fair, in recent years students have found ways to fund it using innovative fundraisers, such as lollipop sales, back-to-school baskets and alumae activities."
