Community Affairs Events October - December 2013


WOW!!!

             That is the only word to describe the community affairs workshops we have had in 2013.

We started before Halloween designing table centerpieces for Grace Care at North point where two of our SAFD members have relatives in residents.

 

 

             Next up we created 21 topiaries in fall colors for the Fisher Houses and for the Ronald McDonald House. The Fisher Houses are where relatives of wounded warriors or ill veterans can stay while they are receiving care at the VA Hospital in Houston. Likewise the Ronald McDonald House provides temporary housing for families with sick children being treated in Houston. We received a warm welcome from the staff at each of these places as the groups floral talents helped to brighten the dining areas.


Lastly during the busy weeks before Christmas the group gathered again to create 23 baskets of flowers in red, green and white. These baskets were delivered to Harvestwood and Copperwood Apartments. Both of these complexes are located in South Montgomery County and serve low income seniors.



Thanks to everyone who volunteered for these community affairs workshops, your volunteer efforts have brightened more lives than you can imagine and helped carry out the spirit of SAFD’s mission.
