CARING FOR AMERICA PROJECT

For several years, KARW has supported the Littlest Patriot Baby Shower. This project was founded by
Connie Kindle, volunteer at the Veterans Administration, and KARW’s 2017-2018 Caring for America

their family or adding to them.
Our club would again like to support this very worthy project and your support is deeply appreciated.
