Service: Ronald McDonald House

Greetings MSA

We are going to team up with the Ronald McDonald House to provide some great service in the medical community this spring. The Ronald McDonald House provides a "home-away-from-home" for families with seriously ill or injured children being treated at area hospitals because children heal faster when their loved ones are with them. In March we will be going into the home to make dinner for the families staying there. We can make what ever we want so if you have any idea please let me know (my favorite is waffles for dinner) and in April will spend a Saturday morning helping in the yard at the Ronald McDonald House.
