Our Lady of the Desert Council No. 15704, Picture Rocks, AZ
The Families of the Brothers from The Our Lady of the Desert Council No.
15704 brought unwrapped toys to their Annual Christmas Potluck on December 15th,
2016.
The local Marine Reserve Center sponsors the Toys-for-Tots program for
Southern Arizona. This year we invited
them to our Potluck. We were very
fortunate to have two young Marines attend and shared in our Potluck Dinner. SSargent, Miguel Diaz and Sargent Thomas
Laprovote. Both men were graduates from
the local high school.
We asked for and honored all the Veteran Brothers attending the
Potluck. We had a total of 16 Veterans
standing and given an ovation for their service.
SSargent, Diaz told us that he will be attending Marine Officers
Training School next year. Sargent
Laprovote is attending the University of Arizona in Pre-Med classes to later
graduate as a Doctor. We wished them the
best of luck in their endeavors!
The Brothers assisted in loading three of their standard boxes with
toys. See the photo of SSargent Diaz,
Grand Knight Ray Obral, and Sargent Laprovote.
Both Marines were very grateful and thanked us for our donation.
Ray Obral, Grand Knight
