Holiday Card Signing 12/05/2019
Several of our club members signed Holiday Cards for our Veterans and military families. After the meeting at the Country Club of Rancho Bernardo for our weekly lunch and meeting they met and signed some of the still 200 cards remaining from last year’s signing. The project efforts were split between our Club and the RBHS Interact Club, who also took this project on at their school. Phil Warner worked with the high school Club.
As we signed the cards, we remembered past member, Frances Blair, who got our Club started on this project several years ago.
Upon completing the card signing, they were collected and delivered to Veterans Village the following week, envelopes addressed by VV, stamped and mailed.
