Christmas Party at the VA

Christmas at the VA Nursing Home

For the past five years (maybe more) we have been spending the third Saturday of every month at the VA Nursing Home, playing Bingo with the Vets. We love doing it. They love to have us there. This is a pet project of Past President Yoli Woodbridge but it's become beloved by a devout group of Rotarians who help whenever they can.

This year Yoli arranged to get each of the Vets a warm flannel blanket and a pair of socks for Christmas. This is in addition to the gorgeous sugar-free Christmas cake and sugar free (?) chocolates she brought for the "after" party.

There were 26 guys at this week's Bingo games. They all had a great time. We all had a great time. They are the greatest generation and it's a pleasure to entertain them every month.

If you've got a little time one of these upcoming Saturdays, tag along with us. You'll really enjoy it. They enjoy it more.

Merry Christmas &
Happy Hanukkah to all.

Everybody concentrates really hard when the numbers are being called. They win coupon books that for residents are the same as cash. They can purchase goods and services from the VA Canteen and store using these coupons. Each book is $1. Each winner gets four books. Works well for all concerned.
