In June we collected different kinds of sock for our local Veterans group, and they were very well received.  You don’t think much about socks, but these folks were excited to get so many different kinds…all sizes, men’s and women’s, compression and diabetic socks, etc.

In July and August, we gathered water, sports drinks, and Liquid IV for our brave firefighters.  This year we gave our donation to the Runaway Bay Volunteer Fire Department.  Everything was gratefully appreciated.

Remember how many glasses we collected last time for the leper colony in Hyderabad, India?  It was over 100 pairs.  We did the same in July and August, with the help from friends and families.  Jill McClendon presented our donation to Dr. Babbili and his staff.  He will take his team to India and with the help of ophthalmologists there, they will regrind the lenses to fit particular needs.  Also, the sunglasses will help protect delicate eyes.  Thank you all for your generosity.
