Operation 2nd Chance
The Rotary Club of Fredericktowne is working with the organization Operation 2nd Chance which provides assistance to wounded soldiers currently located at Walter Reed Hospital. These soldiers were wounded overseas and in most cases have lost an arm or leg. Operation 2nd Chance provides assistance to the soldiers by providing them some items that assist with there recuperation and transition from the hospital.
The Rotary Club of Fredericktowne is collecting new or used DVD movies which are available for the soldiers to view. These soldiers spend many hours of therapy, therefore, being able to relax with a good movie has been noted as a valuable part of their recuperation.
The Club has also donated several portable DVD players, and in conjunction with Walmart on Route 26, two Wii computer game units and an assortment of games have also been donated.
