With just ONE day\, we aim to turn Robert’s modest home into a sanctuary he deserves. But we can’t do it alone—we need YOU! Rally your friends\, spread the word\, and let’s build TWO solid shifts of volunteers. Under the leadership of SrA Richard Alfaro\, we’ll not only paint walls but also paint a brighter future for Robert. \nTogether\, let’s prove that in a world where projects may end\, the power of community and compassion endures. Join us\, and let’s make 2024 a year to remember for Robert and for us all! \nClick Here To Volunteer

SUMMARY:Camp Tonkawa Project
DESCRIPTION:FIRST TIME BACK SINCE COVID!  A DYESS WE CARE TEAM FAVORITE!!\nCamp Tonkawa Campout Project!\nSaturday & Sunday\, October 7th & 8th\nCamp Tonkawa\n4117 FM 89\, Tuscola\, TX. 79562\nGet ready\, folks\, because we’re about to embark on an epic adventure that will not only surprise the Boy Scouts (and Girl Scouts\, and other children’s groups who use the campground) but also make a splash in our own lives! Picture this: a campsite all to ourselves\, a mission to complete\, and a poolside party that’s going to be legendary. Are you in?\nOur mission\, should we choose to accept it (and we absolutely should)\, is to paint their picnic pavilion. And guess what? It’s conveniently located right next to the swimming pool! I don’t know about you\, but that’s what I call serendipity. We’re talking about a weekend filled with camaraderie\, paintbrushes\, and a whole lot of fun.\nNow\, we’re not just doing this for ourselves. We’re doing it to brighten the lives of hundreds of children who use this campsite. Imagine their faces when they return and find their pavilion transformed! That’s the kind of impact we’re making\, and it feels pretty amazing.\nUPDATE: Due to algae\, a pool party will NOT be possible this weekend.  Plus\, it’s going to be a bit cool\, which is PERFECT paint weather!\nGet ready for an epic adventure! We’re taking over a campsite\, with a mission: painting a pavilion next to the pool. Join us for a weekend of fun\, camaraderie\, and impact. After Saturday’s hard work\, it’s pool party time at 1600! Let’s make memories and a difference together.\n\nThe Team Leader is SSgt Onesimo Gonzales.\n\nCLICK HERE TO SIGNUP
