On February 14th, Joan
Carney, Jenn Bergeron and myself visited the Soldier's Home in
Holyoke
to present Beverly Blanchard, the Volunteer Services Coordinator with
$408.00 in phone cards that were requested by Ms.Blanchard to help
veterans stay in contact with family and loved ones. While we were there
we also visited veterans and several of their spouses in the recreation
room on the third floor to give out Valentines cards. The Valentine cards
were made by the fourth grade class of Mrs. Quezada at the
Center
School
in Stow
Ma.. The children wanted to do something special for our soldiers and
sailors during National Hospitalized Veterans Week. Their cards were
well received and it was a privilege to deliver them for the fourth
grade team of Mrs. Quezada.
After our visit at the Soldier's Home we then went to the Veteran's
Medical Center in Leeds
Ma. to present to Mr. Peter Galante, the Voluntary Program Officer with
a Nintendo Wii system. The system allows them to use it as a game for
entertainment and for use as a physical rehab tool. The system is very
much in demand in stores so the staff were surprised and happy to
receive one.
