Adopt a Family
First, we must thank all of the
Sandpiper members who assisted us in our deliveries on Saturday. It was a great
joy to see the faces of the children. One of the residents who helped in the
deliveries was able to meet the child for whom they shopped. She remarked how
good a feeling it was to put a child with the name for whom they purchased
clothes and toys.
For all who helped it was
interesting to see and meet the children who are being raised by their
Grandparents, the family of three pre-teens whose mother is awaiting a lung
transplant and the family living in a rented house on a desolate
ranch.
Without the help of many of
Sandpiper residents, the ones who shopped and wrapped gifts, the ones who helped
deliver, the ones who contributed goods and those who contributed monetary
support, the Adopt a Family program would not be the success that it
is.
Secondly, the funds generated
during the last auction have been wisely spent. It is now time to replenish the
kitty.
Our third annual
Adopt a Family – From the
Heart - auction will be held on Saturday January 31, 2015 at
3:00pm in the pavilion. We are seeking donations to auction. Please let Mary or
John at Lot 5 know of your donation by latest January 25th so we may
put together a catalog of items to be auctioned.
Merry Christmas and a Peaceful
and Happy New Year.
Mary
and John
