The Calvary Kids

Each year at the Holiday Season our Squadron seeks out a worthy cause to contribute to.  For the past three years we have collected gifts and money to buy gifts for the kids at the Calvary Children’s Home.  The “staging area” for this has been the annual Holiday Party, where we will have a table set up for Calvary.  In addition to gifts, members are also able to contribute to the scholarship fund set up at Calvary to assist with college expenses for these children.

In the event you are unable to attend the Holiday Party (which we hope won’t be the case!), please contact Tim Tyson and he will arrange to meet with you.  Thanks very much for your compassion and generosity.
