For three years C. Colombo Lodge in Antioch has made a commitment to the veterans at the local VA Hospital. Each month 100 tray favors or holiday cards are delivered to the Martinez facility.

C. Colombo Lodge makes a commitment to the local Veterans Hospital to provide tray favors or holiday cards to those men and women finding themselves under care. Each month Lisa Belleci Navarro, member of the lodge, designs the cards and provides all the materials to the Card Committee. The finished handmade cards are then delivered to the Martinez facility by Dennis Clark, member of C. Colombo and a Viet Nam vet himself. Pictured above is Lisa in her Antioch studio designing the prototype for the 100 cards to be delivered to the VA Hospital.
