Charity Weekend -
September 27-30, 2007.
This year, we will do something for our Veterans that reside in VA Nursing Homes in the state of Texas. There are 7 homes each accommodating 160 veterans. Our goal is to make 1200 wheelchair/walker caddies.
If you would like to be placed on the "Wait List" for September 27-30, please email Melissa.
Listed below are some websites for patterns for the "caddies". Please feel free to use any pattern you wish. You do not have to attend the Charity Weekend to participate in these great gifts for our veterans! Please make as many as you or your group can do and call Melissa for pickup arrangements! We need 1200!! Please use patriotic, or "male" type fabrics as most of the residents are male. The females will love the patriotic and we'll also do a few "feminine" ones for each residence.
