Christmas Tree decorating 

                 at the CalVet Home in Ventura

      On December 4, 2012 volunteers from the Conejo Valley Chapter met at the Cal-Vet Home, Ventura to decorate their "Patriotic" Christmas tree.  Three years ago the Chapter started an annual tradition by donating a tree with red, white and blue ornaments.  Members gather to decorate the tree. At the same time they donated an electric Menorah which is lighted every year.  The first week of the new year the group will meet again to take down the decorations and the home will store them until next holiday season.
