Veterans’ Boxes and Appreciation

Several ladies of the Frederick Van Patten Chapter met today to deliver boxes of appreciation and cheer to the local Veteran’s clinic. These boxes are just a small token of appreciation to the veterans for their service.

The Chapter would like to say a special thank you to the employees of the Harding University Brackett Library and other members of the community who helped by donating items and giftboxes to this cause.
