The Conroe Service League recently hosted a homemade potluck breakfast for the 105 Lone Star Honor Flight veterans. With homemade dishes and the help of their children, CSL members served the veterans, continuing their ongoing tradition of community service and gratitude.
This past Wednesday, the Conroe Service League (CSL) offered a homemade communal breakfast to the Lone Star Honor Flight Veterans Group to demonstrate their sincere support. The CSL women served a variety of desserts, fruit, potatoes, quiches, and eggs to the group of 105 veterans. This event is a recurring tradition at CSL, as the organization regularly assists veterans.
The veterans' gratitude was conveyed by organizer Darrell May, who stated, "The ladies of the Conroe Service League are amazing cooks and have hearts of gold!" Sharing today with them is a blessing.
Also present at the event were the homeschooled children of CSL members, who assisted in the distribution of sweets to the veterans, resulting in an endearing and memorable interaction. May added with a smile, "The veterans were unable to refuse the children."
The Conroe Service League has maintained a long-standing tradition of community support by operating The Bargain Box, a resale shop since 1957. The store's affordable prices for gently used apparel, household items, and toys benefit the Montgomery County community.
CSL offers a diverse array of services, such as annual scholarships to high school students, infant bundles for new mothers at HCA Conroe Hospital, and eye and visual screenings for preschoolers, in addition to its work with veterans. Additionally, it provides assistance to numerous community organizations, including Family Promise, Journey Home, and Meals on Wheels.
Billy Ray Duncan, a seasoned supporter, expressed his gratitude for the Conroe Service League, stating, "We are always grateful." The men consistently demonstrate their appreciation for the women.
The Conroe Service League's endeavors indicate their profound dedication to the community and the veterans who have served the country.
The Montgomery County Historical Commission will dedicate a historical marker at the former Montgomery County Hospital in Conroe at 9 a.m. Monday, Sept. 15, on the front steps at 301 1st Street.
