The Cedar Key Woman`s Club recently presented the GAINESVILLE FISHER HOUSE FOUNDATION a check for $2000. During 2012 and 2013 the ladies of the club have raffled off two quilts as a fundraiser for the soon to be built Fisher House. The first quilt to be raffled was made by several of the local ladies and the second quilt was made & donated by Judy Byrne, a female veteran from Texas. So far the ladies of the CKWC have donated $4500 to this worthy cause. Fisher House will open later this year in Gainesville, and it will be the home for vets and their families who live more than 50 miles away during their time of medical treatment at the Gainesville VA center. YES, the CKWC continues to SUPPORT OUR TROOPS, but now will be also in support of this "home away from home" for our veterans and their families in need.
