During January & February, we asked you to donate socks – and donate you did!  We collected 422 pairs of socks and donated them to Galveston Street Outreach, serving homeless individuals and families in the neighboring areas. The socks were given to families over two weeks according to Rick  Henson from the Outreach Program. Did you know that new socks were the number one requested item in homeless shelters? 

In March, we held the Bayou Bubba Chili Cook-Off, benefiting Noah’s Ark Bayou Sanctuary. Your generosity allowed us to send them a check for $2000 in addition to the supplies we collected. Pam Sanidakos, President of the Sanctuary stated,  “We are eternally grateful that your club chose us once again to be the recipient of the "Bayou Bubba" Chili Cook-off. We sincerely appreciate your love and support for all these years for all of our now senior rescues. Your help keeps The Sanctuary open for more innocent lives to be saved.” 

Throughout the spring and the month of June, we asked you to donate items for Riddles in the Sand. As a result of the donations, we had a great selection of silent auction baskets, RITS raffle items, lottery tickets, premium liquor and beer as well as some amazing live auction items.

In July, your generous bidding on silent and live auction items, and your participation in the 50/50 raffle, the RITS raffle, the quick draw, the poker run, and lotto tree led to the club raising almost $15,000 at Riddles in the Sand. We sent money to Lighthouse, Elks, Alzheimer's, and the American Legion Scholarship fund as a result. More will be distributed in November. 

Thank you for all your donations!
