No, this is not a bird watching club. Alan introduced Sam Cathcart, coordinator of the Sparrow Clubs USAin Washington, who gave us information on what the clubs do. The Sparrow Clubs USA is a charity that serves families with children in medical need or crisis by matching these families with a school or youth organization whose members perform community service to "earn" money for the family. Sponsorship are provided by businesses and community organizations. Since 1995, the organization has raised over $3M, and helped about 1000 kids. Over 300,000 hours of community service have been performed by young people in support of their "Sparrows".
