ADOPT A SQUADRONsock

Women Health Center of Greece has adopted the Marine Light Attack  Helicopter Squadron 369 at Camp Pendleton.  In the past year, we have purchased special bamboo socks for this squadron who were stationed in Afghanistan and assisted in putting beachbash croppedon a Beach Bash for the 500+ members of this squadron and their families.  We have other events we will be working on to show our appreciation to these brave men and women serving to protect our country.

Operation HeloBabies is another part of our Adopt A Squadron Project.  This project will provide essential items i.e. blankets, baby bottles, clothes, etc for the expectant mothers in the helicopter squadron we have adopted.

Club members may help by volunteering their time for any events for the squadron and collecting donations to purchase needed items, purchase more socks, package and ship items overseas.
