Beginning with the collection of toys for the school's 2003 Christmas party, Sylvan Hills Lodge has adopted North Hills Child Services in Sherwood as an on-going community service project.  The Lodge works with the professional staff to provide needed volunteer work, from "handyman" fix up work, to building needed furniture for classrooms, to refurbishing a play ground that the school had been forced to abandon due to safety concerns.  North Hills provides pre-school care for some 85 special needs children, from 6 months to school-age.  The Lodge is honored to be able to help in these efforts.

July 10, 2004, was the first of several planned work days at North Hills.  Brothers Larry Williams, Joe Reynolds, and Tom Murphy worked with ladies from the Little Rock Chapter of the National Association of Women in Construction to refurbish classroom furniture.
