Rossmoor Woman’s Club Membership Chairman Beverly Rigney recently presented a check for $1,000 to American Gold Star Mothers Community Liaison Nancy Soltes. The American Gold Star Mothers are women who have lost children in service of the country, and function to provide support for Fisher House.
Similar to the Ronald Mc Donald House, they serve families of veterans who are sick or have been hurt in service. Currently there are 65 houses with a new one being built in Long Beach. The cost to build a house is $6 million dollars, and one million dollars is still needed to finish the one in Long Beach.
Fisher House is one of the top-rated military charities in the country, with 95 cents of every dollar going directly to this charity.
The RWC is dedicated to raising monies for local charities, is open to all women in the local communities and may be contacted at www.rossmoorwomansclub.org or 562-810-7139.
