Wooden Nickel Fundraiser
for FISHER HOUSE

Members of the Disabled American Veterans, American Legion, and Veterans of Foreign Wars, set up a fund-raiser for the San Antonio area Fisher Houses at both Lackland AFB, and Brooke Army Medical Center at Fort Sam Houston.

Fisher House Foundation provides "comfort homes," built on the grounds of major military and VA medical centers. These homes enable family members to be close to a loved one at the most stressful times - during the hospitalization for an unexpected illness, disease, or injury. Fisher House depends on public donations for operating expenses.

The Old Time Wooden Nickel Co. has donated 1,000 Wooden Nickels for each of the Fisher House Locations and the Fisher House Foundation (30,000 in all). The Wooden Nickels are all custom printed with the location of each of the Fisher Houses and are given out for a "suggested" donation of $1.00. Many people give more.

Tom Auxier is heading up the Wooden Nickel donation program for the San Antonio area, and he has set a personal goal of raising $100,000. On Friday, August 26, he brought the first installment of $1,320, which represents only 3 days of collecting donations.

Now Tom is sending out a challenge to all military and civic organizations, to beat his goal. Volunteers are needed for all over the world. Contact your local Fisher House, military medical facility, or the Old Time Wooden Nickel Co.
