Residents of Green Meadow Haven were surprised this week with flowers and Easter cards. They were presented by the Cooties.

The Military Order of Cooties is a fraternal order within the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States. The Cooties Auxiliary in northwest Louisiana is known as Pelican #6 and serves Red River, Caddo and Bossier parishes.

Coushatta resident Angelia McCoy is the President of the group. McCoy said, “We just want to show them (the residents) a little love, so that the ones in the nursing home know that there are people outside who think that they still matter.”

McCoy along with Susanne Wastlund (not pictured) and Dawn Brewer presented the flowers and cards to Mary Tom Cowser, an assistant activities director, for distribution to the residents.
