	Deaf Women Engineers (DWE) started up this Fall quarter (Sept.) 2007. We wanted to start this club as a support group for women. Being in a class full of boys, this is not a girl thing. We set up a club where girls can come to talk about our classes and help us to stay in our major. We talked about different things that we can do to help the Rochester community. One of our advisors, Paula Zack, is a volunteer at Lollypop Farm.  She asked them to see if they needed our help.   The Lollypop Farm needed more feral cat shelters to be built for selling to people who were on the Lollipop Farm waiting list in Rochester. We were happy to work on this project because we got to build and use our engineering skills. We worked on planning on how we were going to accomplish this. It took us three Saturdays and evenings to finish five big cat shelters. We learned a lot from each other. We also invited other people to help out and we all had fun building together.
