On Wednesday, July 18, 2012, Violette was invited to attend
The Golden K – Kiwanis Club breakfast at the Carrollton Presbyterian Church to
receive a grant for the Veterans Memorial Park.
Lavern Holcombe presented the Park a check for $150 in response to a
grant request to help pay for the Alphabetical Index Bronze Plaque for Walls of
Honor Numbers 17 – 20. We know The
Golden K is all about “serving the children of the world” and we are proud that
they recognize that we too serve our children by providing a place where they
can participate in honoring our veterans and troops. It is important for all our students to learn
that we live in a free country because our ancestors were willing to fight for
that freedom – freely giving their time, talent, and yes, even their lives when
necessary to make sure the USA stays free.
