Service Project at The Christmas Toy Shop

December 19th, 2010

toyshoppe-2010

Yesterday, December 18th, 10 of our club members and friends helped to provide a little extra Christmas cheer to some families in the St. Pete area by helping Santa deliver toys to families in need. The Christmas Toy Shop Project, Inc. is a non-profit, all volunteer organization with the mission “we exist so that no child will be without a Christmas,” for children in need in South Pinellas County.

This was such a fun service project! Club members got to go ‘toy shopping’ with families helping to pick new and used toys that the Christmas Toy Shop acquires through donations and rehabbing used toys throughout the year. In 2009 this organization provided more than 3,000 children with toys for Christmas and just about 1,000 bicycles were issued as part of the overall distribution as well.

The club members, ‘ the elves’, had a busy morning of toy shopping and smiles and were able to join forces with the Rotary Club of St. Petersburg, our Sponsor Club, who also had a handful of volunteers there. It was a great event and we look forward to doing it again next year!

Members in attendance:
Daphne
Hunter
Tami
Kerri
Janene
Owen
Sabine
Matthew
Erin
Shawn (a good friend of the club!)

December 16th, 2010

wrap-siteThis week’s meeting was spent enjoying holiday fellowship while wrapping all of the wonderful gifts that the club got for our adopted family of 8 from the High Point Family Center. Each family member was assigned to a group of club members to make sure everyone got something especially for them. We also dedicated our happy dollars to the family during one of our December meetings, so that we could provide them with some groceries and a holiday feast, as well.

Here is to a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS to our adopted family! Enjoy!
