Angels Filled with Joy

Joy and laughter filled Caritas Village on December 16, 2010, as Santa arrived with presents for all the children in the Peacemakers After-School Program. The children were filled with excitement as they waited for Santa to call their names and sit on his lap to receive their gifts and stockings. Refreshments were abundant and enjoyed by all.

This would not have happened without your loving participation, GSL. The Outreach Committee is grateful to everyone that joined in this inaugural event. Heartfelt thanks to all who bought gifts, filled stockings, provided refreshments, helped on adoption and collection day, joined the children at the party or otherwise provided assistance. Special thanks to Angel Tree co-chair, Wight Boggs; Mike Lewis, aka: Santa Claus; and David Brown and Steven Hoover for the gift of the Christmas tree.

We can’t wait for next year! In the meantime, come and see the Peacemakers After-School Program in action on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. Contact Noel Schwartz, 274-3106, or Betty Johnson, 274-5133, for more info.
