Veterans Valentine

In early February 2011, members of the Jax Woodworkers Club helped to load boxes containing gift bags to be sent to disabled veterans. Piccadilly Restaurant was gracious enough to open their meeting room for the club so we could gather for this service project.   Each purple gift bag contains a handmade Tic-Tac-Toe game and a Magic Triangle game (with instructions on how to solve the puzzle).  There are other goodies in each bag:  candy, pencils, a tooth brush and other toys.

Over 430 purple bags will be donated to four agencies: 

• Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C.
• St. Augustine Nursing Home for Disabled Vets (Florida)
• Lake City Nursing Home for Disabled Vets (Florida)
• Harbor Chase Vets Hospital in Jacksonville, Florida

Jax Woodworkers Club's main service project is making toys for needy local children.  We could not let Valentine's Day go by without also thinking about the service men and women who have sacrificed so much for us.

This is just a little token of our appreciation.  The club members eagerly gave their time and talents to hopefully bring some joy to a service person away from home on this Valentine's Day.
