2021 Philanthropic Project
​

Picture
Our philanthropic project for this year is a donation of a painted Christmas ornament to K-9 Partners for Patriots.  The organization provides dogs who are trained to assist veterans in times of stress.  The veterans have suffered mental disabilities as a result of wartime experiences.  The organization is funded by donations.

The ornaments we paint will decorate their Christmas tree and be presented to each veteran at their Christmas party.  The theme is either patriotic or dogs, or both.

Please bring unpainted ornaments to our July meeting, and if possible, a pattern for it also.  I need to know how many ornaments we have.  We will paint ornaments in September.  I have more information to share in the next few months, and I know we are going to have a great time!  Pat Landry brought the cutest ornaments to the June meeting to inspire us.  Thanks Pat.
