Christmas came early for the Children's Home Society of Virginia in the form of a $12,000 dollar check given by the Kiwanis Club of Tuckahoe. Mrs. Nadine Marsh-Carter, President and CEO, was present on December 18th, when Bland Weaver, President-elect, and Debbie Wheeler, President, made the gift. Many club members accompanied them as they were given a tour of the office and treated to a history of this outstanding organization. The Children's Home Society of Virginia is 108 years old and has placed more than 12,500 children in permanent families. Jack Williams, a club member, was also in attendance. Jack's family has a long history of dedication to CHSVA, as some family member has been either on the board or involved directly for the past century. Since 1995, our club (now composed of only 32 members) has given over $275,000 to worthy causes active in the Metro-Richmond area. This latest gift was made possible the efforts of Bland Weaver, President-elect, who shepherded a golf tournament in October.
