The last few months of 2024 were very busy for our charity activities:

  oWe participated in 2 Alzheimer Walks (Texas City and Galveston) & exceeded our donation goal, resulting in $3815 for ALZ!

  o We donated a Club Basket at MOTM for Lone Palm Foundation raffle

  o We donated a $4500 check to Lone Palm Foundation and our President issued a challenge to other clubs to meet or beat our   contribution, raising an additional $28,000 from other clubs as a result!

  o We collected Donations and Items for Seafarer Boxes, assembling, wrapping and delivering 100 boxes to the Houston   International Seafarers Center.

  o We gave Gift Cards and donations totaling $2685 for Blue Santa Galveston and several member volunteers pulled gifts for   families and wrapped presents as well for Blue Santa.

  o Supported Wreaths Across America with several volunteers

 Last year, we featured a different local charity for giving opportunities every month

 and we had a great response. We will plan on doing something similar this year, but I wanted to solicit your input. If you are   aware of a deserving local charity where our contributions can help our local neighbors and communities, please let me know so   that we can include them this year. Please feel free to email (gloria-rooney@usa.net) or text me (713-805-0843) with contact   info and I will get back to you to see if we can include them.

  Thank you for your help and continued generosity!
