MANHATTAN BEACH, CA — The Neptunian Woman's Club is raising funds to support the scholarship fund whose proceeds they use to award scholarships to Mira Costa High School students and students in need of financial aid at El Camino Community College. All gifts are tax deductible.

The "For The Love Of Learning" campaign is accepting donations now through February 5. To participate, donors purchase a heart that will be displayed in the clubhouse window at 920 Highland Avenue. The Neptunians just used that window to create an award-winning Holiday Window Display that was absolutely magical and entranced kids of all ages during the holiday season.

"Let’s cover our windows, show our love of learning and bring some joy during a tough time," said Patricia Blakemore, the club's marketing director. Please encourage your friends and family to join the fun and support a worthy cause." Hearts can be dedicated to someone you love or someone who inspired your love of learning.
