McMinnville—December was a very busy month
for our club as we switched into full "Elf Mode".
Our Community Service committee was very
busy adopting a total of 9 families this year
through our Christmas Giving Project. Five of the
families were through YCAP and we gave presents
only because YCAP supplied the food. The
other four families were through the Salvation
Army and we gave food and presents. It was a
very rewarding and humbling project for the
members involved as they shopped for, wrapped
and delivered food and gifts for the families. In
December we also served on our first Red Cross
Blood Drive. We had 12 members volunteer during
the day to help the people from the community
that gave blood. It was an awesome way to
give to those in need! Lastly, we wrapped up the
month with our "Best Ever" Cheese / Holiday Gift
Pack fundraiser. Our sales were just under
$25,000 and the club support was amazing. Everyone
stepped up to the plate and now we can go
out and help impact the lives of more children in
our community. We would like to wish everyone
a great 2012!
