Members of American Legion Auxiliary Unit 360 of Weatherly held a “Cards for Soldiers” event at the Weatherly Evergreen Apartments on July 10. Seven residents, one guest and five unit members attended the event.
A total of 377 birthday cards were signed, with 250 of them being sent to the Southeast Veterans Center. The remaining cards will be sent to Charley Matthews, founder of Cards for Soldiers, to send to VA facilities of her choice.
Twenty-seven handmade all-occasion cards from kits will be sent to Charley to send to deployed troops to send home to their families.
