Stamps for the Wounded
STAMPS FOR THE WOUNDED, a nonprofit organization now under the sponsorship of Lions International, is now in its 54th year. The program supplies stamps, coins and other materials to more than 11,000 military veterans in hospitals, convalescent centers and other facilities across the nation. These supplies support stamp collection hobbies as well as creative art projects that help give comfort to our veterans. Please contact Lois Ernst if you wish to contribute.

There is now a memorial paver in the Veterans Park Beach Haven Terrace, donated by the Garden Club of Long Beach Island. It can be found in front of the gazebo. Veterans Park is located on 132nd street in Beach Haven Terrace. When you visit you will find it is a lovely place to reflect and relax.
Warmth for Warriors
This is a thank you note to our garden club members who knit hats for our military to wear under their helmets. They are 100 percent wool . As as you can see, they are very grateful for the hats.
