The ladies of the Rossmoor Woman’s Club have been busy packing backpacks for our Veterans.
Sheri Mansfield recently delivered the loaded packs after she, Ellen Odell, Robin Elliott and Louise Newald packed most of them with toiletries for men, a few for women and some were left empty so recipients could fill them on their own. Mansfield was able to present one to a disabled vet in his wheelchair, while in the volunteer office.
