Alabama SCI Chapter Children's Hospital
BEST JOB IN THE CITY

According to Denise Dexter, Facilities Design Coordinator for Children's Hospital, who has been coordinating the building and expansion of the trail with McFalls and others, "This is the only children's hospital in the state and patients come from all over the Southeast." Parents and the many visitors to the 'Holiday Trail' have been delighted with and have praised the priceless exhibit.

"I do have the best job in the City, because my clients are kids!" Dexter said.
Not only is Dexter the Facilities Design Coordinator for Children's Health Systems at the hospital, her own daughter at age 13 had been a trauma patient at Children's after being involved in an automobile accident.

Children especially enjoy finding the hidden characters and dwarfs in the "Snow White and Seven Dwarfs" prints, Dexter said. Current plans are now underway to expand the trail, adding more pictures and prints and extending it hospital wide carrying out the Safari Trail theme.

"The trail presentation reaches out and touches the young people and for just a little time, takes their minds off their problems," stated 2004 SCI Alabama Chapter President Kraft. The exhibit also lets the children and visitors view SCI in a different light, he said. "We certainly value McFalls generous gifts which were donated in the name of SCI to the Children's Hospital project," Kraft said. "Working with local organizations is an important part of SCI's mission and we feel there is none more deserving of our help than our youth," he added. The Alabama chapter is very proud of what has been accomplished thus far and for all the hard work and donations that Richard McFalls has put forth."

"We are grateful to have the opportunity to participate in our sport and as the citizens of a free society, to now be able to give back to the community in support of the sport we love so much," Kraft explained.

Kraft said he was heading to Washington D. C. to represent his 300-member strong SCI Chapter to "protect our freedom to hunt."
