Thousands of men and woman are currently fighting for our country throughout the world. Back home, the families of faithful Marines are often left in need of groceries, clothing, incidentals and other ex-traordinary expenses for the holiday season. The Rotary Club of Coto de Caza/RSM del Sol has joined hands with the Camp Pendleton Armed Services YMCA for a fifth year to bring some much needed relief and support for these families during the holiday season. Additionally, we are helping the Armed Services YMCA childcare, after-school tutoring and mentoring programs on the Camp Pendleton base which are crucial to these children who are often suffering with issues due to their parent's absence. We will be providing hundreds of fully cooked hams and commissary gift certificates for these families of young Camp Pendleton based Marines. All 100% of your contribution will help these families enjoy a holiday that many of us often take for granted. Please make all tax deductible donations payable to: The Rotary Foundation of Coto de Caza/Rancho Santa Margarita del Sol P. O. Box 81072 Rancho Santa Margarita, CA 92688
