Chapter Activities and Projects
RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE
Chapter members collect pull tabs from aluminum cans for donation to the Children of the American Revolution (C.A.R.). The tabs are recycled for the benefit of the Ronald McDonald House charity. Ronald McDonald House provides a home away from home for families during medical treatment for their seriously ill children.
SERVICE FOR VETERANS
Honoring our country's veterans is very important to our chapter. We regularly contribute to the United States Service Organizations (USO) Center at San Diego Airport, to Backpacks for Veterans at the Veterans Administration (VA) Hospital in San Diego, and to Veterans Village in San Diego. We participate in the annual North San Diego County Veterans Stand Down.
Chapter members place flags on veterans' graves at Valley Center Cemetery for Memorial Day and Veterans Day.
The Cemetery Project Team updates Valley Center Cemetery's records on an annual basis and uploads the information to Find-A-Grave. We continue the process of identifying veterans buried in the cemetery.
VALLEY CENTER COMMUNITY
We volunteer at the Valley Center Public Library and participate in various community events. Members volunteer at hospitals, churches, schools, and in hospice organizations. We recently sponsored a Valley Center History Museum historic marker, which was placed at Valley Center Cemetery, an historically significant local site.
WREATHS ACROSS AMERICA
The chapter hosts a Wreaths Across America ceremony at Valley Center Cemetery each December. Chapter members work with the community to sponsor wreaths to honor the military veterans buried in the cemetery.
