Here are just a few ways that we are involved in the community.
• RCRW has a nursing home project to where we donate items to the nursing homes. We donate items to give to the residents at their nursing home activities.
• RCRW hosts three sessions of VLS (Vacation Liberty School) every summer for kids (free of charge). The three branches of government, and how each branch of government works and T
he US Constitution. They learn how to make butter and they get to eat hardtack. They learn while playing games and we have some wonderful people that come dressed up as persons such as Abraham Lincoln, Molly Pitcher, Betsy Ross, George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. The kids sing patriotic songs. They also learn about taxes and are given “play” money and at the end of the day, the kids go to the “store” and purchase items with their money. RCRW purchases items for the “store” for the kids to purchase with their “play” money. The kids watch movies about the history of our country. THE KIDS LOVE VLS THAT MOST CHILDREN KEEP RETURNING YEAR AFTER YEAR!!!!
• RCRW distributes dictionaries every year to the 3rd graders. The children are very appreciative of the dictionaries that they receive. This year RCRW received a “thank you letter” from each student for the dictionaries.
