The Kiwanis Club of Silver City held their annual Fort Bayard Christmas gift project for the Alzheimer patients at Fort Bayard Medical Center. Members of the club along with Silver High Key Club students and parents shopped for 39 patients. The gifts were individually determined according to the wants and needs of each patient. The club has several fundraisers throughout the year that allow the Kiwanis members to purchase the many gifts that are then thoughtfully wrapped during the club’s annual Christmas party. The gifts were delivered to Fort Bayard and given to the patients during their holiday celebration. Thank you to the members of the Kiwanis Club of Silver City for spreading joy this holiday this holiday season with Alzheimer patients at Fort Bayard Medical Center.
