Our club participated with the "Be a Santa to a Senior" project this year for the second year. Betty Keane, the person that runs the project in Fayette County came to speak to our club, we donated $1000, and our members participated hands-on in this project to provide Christmas presents to local seniors, particularly those that are not well off financially.
Participation included taking paper ornaments with gift requests from seniors written on them (the seniors were identified, but not by name), and shopping to fill the requests. Over 30 members of our club shopped for things like shoes, clothes, toiletries, fire extinguishers, kitchen items, etc. The items were then delivered to the Gathering Place community center in Peachtree City.
We also had several Rotarians and spouses participate in the "Santa's Workshop" where all of the donated gifts were wrapped and processed to bring to the seniors that has requested them.
