2009 was my first year volunteering with Texas Stampede. I will be doing it for years to come…read more This organization is a great way to get involved and touch the lives of children and families at Children's Medical Center. You meet some of the most amazing people from all over DFW and it is good to know that one great cause has brought together such a diverse group of people. There are usually things going on throughout the year depending on your committee but the real fun starts about May when volunteer orientations have taken place and you narrow down where you would like to help, be it marketing, operations, merchandise etc. I highly recommend Texas Stampede to those who want to give their time. There is something for everyone, weather you have days and nights to give or just a couple of hours. The rodeo takes place in November and is held at the American Airlines Center. Although there are new exciting changes for 2010. If you are interested in volunteering for 2010 please check the website often for new orientation dates!

I'm filing a complaint with this organization this evening, but also wanted to write a review…read more I would hope that anyone who donates to this organization goes elsewhere. I would suggest donating to Grace Grapevine, they are so kind and more Christ like than the people representing the financial assistance office at CCA. I seen a caseworker at the front desk at Grace Grapevine hugging someone who came in for assistance. They are so nice and patient. I love the positivity they give off. On Monday November 25, 2024 I arrive at CCA at 9am to fill out an application for rental assistance. When you walk in you're required to grab a number. I grabbed my number and I was #51. I didn't have all my documentation ready so I did have to use their printing room while I was waiting to be called. CCA takes walk ins from 9am to 11am (if your number isn't called by 11am then you have to come back at 1pm, as they close the office for lunch from 11am to 1pm.) Unfortunately my number.was not called by 11am so I had to come back. When you return to the office you're required to pull a new number (so you'll have a new place in line.) I got back in line at 11:50am at the front door (first in line.) The doors opened back at 1pm, grabbed my number. My number was called around 1:05pm. I went to the front desk, the rude woman checked to make sure I had all my documents. I was missing my ledger. I requested my landlord send it to me. He was able to send it about an hour later (maybe a little over.) In order to receive an appointment with the caseworker, you have to have all documentation ready. The rude lady looked over my ledger and added it to my documentation in which she kept and created me a file. Now that I had all my documentation, I was given an appointment for Monday December 2 at 9:45am. On Monday, December 2, which is today I arrived at 9:40 AM , spoke with the rude lady at the front to inform her I was there for my appointment. She said "okay you can have a seat." Right as I was about to walk to my seat she got my attention so I turned back around and she asked (while holding my ledger in her hand) "are you more than one month behind on rent, because we're only helping for December..?" I informed her that I was more than one month behind on rent, and that she should be aware of that because she has all my documentation and a form clearly stating that I am more than one month behind. She then says "Well, unfortunately I have to cancel your appointment and we cannot help you. Per our guidelines you can not be more than one month behind. Of course I was disappointed and I told her it was okay for me to only receive one month help, my landlord is doing his best to work with me. I also said to her "You knew I was more than one month behind a week ago. Why would you even waste my time coming up here?" Genuine question. People make mistakes and I would've accepted and appreciated if she told me that she overlooked it, but nope the rude lady got Loud (at a Christian organization..) I'm the only one that should be frustrated, I am behind on my bills and being told they can't help me after spending 8 hours of my life at CCA. I would've rather spent that 8 hours volunteering there because they clearly need more reps assisting the amount of people coming in requesting help. They need loving help. People who have a passion in helping and serving. Although I am sad and very disappointed that I won't be able to get the help that I need. I am more disappointed in the way that I was treated and talk to. Not once did I get loud (raise my tone.) The representative at the front desk needs to be talked to and reminded that that is a Christian organization and she should be a rep representing Jesus Christ. I am being very honest when I say that your donation should go elsewhere. I am a single mother and I am five months pregnant. I am very emotional right now and that lady, that rude lady needs to learn how to talk to people.

I was told to fill out an application and, of course, left all my sensitive information, including my SSN, BOD, etc. I was told they "need to check if I qualify." In a few days I was told that "I do not qualify." I assumed that with my information someone else received help for much more than $200. Very dishonest people. Also, I received some spoiled food in the past from them, which I discarded into trash. The sponsors donate the money because they want to help the disadvantaged and poor. However, the money is used to "help" friends and for some other purposes. Someone has to investigate this place.

I'll typically cruise through the parking lot, on my bicycle, after the post office, on my way to the library. That being said, I made a discovery. I've been aware of the eye glasses disposal box. Not sure what happens with them, hopefully something good. But the other day I noticed another box. I think it is new. This box is a "flag retirement box", and it being here is good to know. Just the other day I "rescued" a discarded flag from a trash pile (rather disrespectful), and was pondering the proper way to "retire" (new term for me) the flag properly. Now I know. Bottom line: Maybe one of these days I'll look into what else the Lion's Club does. PS. From the URL - Keller Lions Club meetings are at 7:00 p.m. on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of every month.
