Carroll-Farmers Branch delivered 582 Christmas Cards to the Dallas VA Midical Center
Just in time for Christmas, the Rotary Club of Carrollton-Farmers Branch delivered 582 cards to the Dallas VA Medical Center. This hospital is a large 400 bed facility in Southeast Dallas. In the past, club members have signed cards for wounded veterans, but this year we wanted to involve a whole new generation in this project. As part of our club’s ongoing outreach to veterans, we purchased Christmas cards that were delivered in early December for multiple children in Carrollton to decorate for these patients. 250 cards were completed by the After-the Bell program at McCoy Elementary School in Carrollton (part of Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD), 250 were completed by the After-the Bell program at Country Place Elementary School in Carrollton (part of Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD) and 81 cards were made during a Donuts with Santa party that was hosted by the Country Place Mom’s Club (which is a neighborhood group in Carrollton).
