March 20, 2024 — Representatives from TALGV and some of the pets (up for adoption) were at the Quail Creek Pickleball Ramada on March 19th from 3-4:30pm to greet the Quail Creek community. The Community Outreach team sends its sincere thank you to all TWOQC members, Critters Club members and the entire Quail Creek Community for their outstanding support for our drive to collect items for The Animal League of Green Valley. The generous monetary donations as well as food and supplies for dogs and cats will definitely help TALGV take care of the animals entrusted to their facility.
The Quail Creek community was invited to join TWOQC as we support the Salvation Army’s holiday drive for 90 youth ages 11-17.
TWOQC hosted a virtual Giving Tree on GroupWorks starting November 3 through which TWOQC members and other Quail Creek residents may sign up. Collection period was November 7 – December 10. All details were posted in GroupWorks.

LETTERS FOR HONOR FLIGHT VETERANS (April 20, 2023 update) Many thanks to all who wrote the over 1000 letters for the 70 veterans who will be going on the Honor Flight to Washington D.C. from April 23-25. These letters express honor and respect for the military service of these veterans. While in Washington D.C. these veterans will tour the war memorials dedicated to their service. Their travel and tour expenses are fully funded by Honor Flight Southern Arizona. Carin Kaiser collected the letters from TWOQC volunteers and the Green Valley Chapter of Military Officers Association of America. There will be another Honor Flight in the fall for which TWOQC will invite all Quail Creek residents to write letters of gratefulness to the veterans, many of whom feel their service was not appreciated.

In 2022, the Community Outreach Committee also hosted a Clothing Swap that raised funds and enabled them to donate many clothing items to Hands of a Friend to support victims of domestic abuse in Genesis House; provided non-perishable healthy snacks for at-risk youth served at the Amado Youth Center; and hosted a teachers’ supply shower for the elementary school teachers at Continental School. The generosity of members and Quail Creek residents to help the less fortunate is greatly appreciated.
HONOR FLIGHT — (Jan. 20, 2023) Many thanks to those who wrote the 640 letters of appreciation to the 60 Native American veterans who went on the Honor Flight to Washington, DC earlier this month. The veterans were most appreciative of your words of gratitude. The “Mail Call” letters given to the veterans on their flight home are often cherished by the veterans, many of whom believe their service was not appreciated by their fellow Americans.
SCHOOL TEACHERS’ SUPPLY SHOWER AUGUST 20, 2022 — Thanks to the generosity of Club members and many Quail Creek residents, the Community Outreach Committee held a very successful shower for the 21 elementary school teachers at Continental School on August 17.
Each teacher received two large bags, one with a variety of school supplies and the other with more practical items — Kleenex, paper towels, copy paper, and wipes. They were served carrot cake and Arnold Palmers while they celebrated. This was the first time an outside group had ever “showered” them with gifts and the teachers really appreciated it. They were very surprised at the variety and number of gifts they received.
