Ronald McDonald House of Dallas

Update: Daily Campus Article

Thanks to everyone who came out and helped the GWO cook and craft at the Ronald McDonald House!



I've been volunteering at the Ronald McDonald House of Dallas since 2007, and it was a pleasure being able to share the "house that love built" with the ladies of the GWO (and others!)

Thomas sums it up for me:


Thanks, everyone!
