Daughters from six chapters in District XIV met with other organizations at the VA Hospital in La Jolla to fill 250 backpacks with snacks, water, socks, books, toiletries, popcorn, playing cards and knitted caps. We then had the honor of distributing some backpacks and lap robes to patients in the spinal cord wing and fourteen patients in another section. Two therapy dogs joined the fun as the backpacks were being filled. It was a Christmas to remember for all of us!
