UMWC provides toys and gifts for Masonic Children's Hospital again this year
Dorothy Waltz and her husband Fred spearheaded the Masonic Children’s Hospital Charity again this year, netting a sleigh full of toys and $2,000 for staff to fill the hospital’s ‘free’ toy shelves. Contributions were a featured part of UMWC's annual holiday gathering at the Roseville Ice Arena in early December. Our club takes pride in the continued contributions to this cause. Thank you to all.
