The club’s biggest annual membership project is making Christmas toys & gifts for deserving area children. In past years increasing numbers of toys and gift items were built with recent efforts resulting in over 500 toys and gifts donated to local groups in Garland and Saline County, Arkansas. Recipient groups include: head start programs, foster children groups, and children in shelters.
