Crafts at WFSC – Wounded Warriors at Nebo

Kick Up Your Boots

May 26th was our annual fundraiser featuring Bernie Nelson and Thomas Michael Riley in concert. What a great night!! Great Music! Packed Crowd! Generous People! It was a perfect storm. People were competitively bidding on silent auction items and trying not to miss any of the great music. We interrupted the music from time to time to draw prizes. Grand prize, $1,200 toward a cruise from any port to any destination, was won by Nathan Crenwelge. Second prize, $1,000 in $50 gift cards went to Jim Heupel. Third prize, $550 cash, to Farley Hemphill. In addition, there were multiple gift baskets, gift cards, etc won. People’s generosity was overwhelming and not just those attending the concert but all who purchased tickets for the drawing and donated items for the silent auction. In addition to the numerous local supporters (Fredericksburg and surrounding area) there were many who were visiting our fair town from Houston, Midland, New Mexico to name a few. GOD really blessed this fund raising event. Proceeds will help WWAN to provide respite to the wounded, injured, & ill active military, medically retired veterans and their families.

In a true act of selflessness and generosity, several winners of both the drawings and silent auction items immediately gave their winnings to a warrior(s) attending the concert or donated their winnings back to WWAN to be used at a future event for the warriors.

SPECIAL THANKS to Western Edge Cellars who provided the space for the concert and their staff for excellent service, Inn on Barons Creek for discounted rates for the warriors who attended and all the tireless volunteers whose labor is priceless.

Card Making at WFSC

Join us in the Craft Room at WFSC at 1000 and make a couple of greeting cards to take home with you. The class is open to anyone but limited to 10 people. Whether you have never made a card or are an “old timer”, it’s fun and relaxing – a great way to focus on something other than appointments, etc., and there is always a dessert at the end. There is a signup sheet in the common area at WFSC but you can just show up and join the fun and fellowship.

Hope to see you there- Bring a friend.

Card Making Fun

Just because we call it a card class doesn’t mean we always make cards. Once in a while, like just before Christmas when we were tired of making Christmas cards and it was too late to send them to arrive before Christmas, we come up with something different. Sharon designed a cover for post it pads and a fun Frog card.
