The Christmas holiday is now in the rear mirror, but it did not pass without our Club members joining together to make it brighter for those less fortunate in our community. Thanks to 16 of our Club members - and some of the spouses - 57 children of 22 families at Solid Ground woke up to a brighter Christmas morning. Our effort this year was aided by students from the Mounds View High School Volunteer Club which stuffed 6 stockings for the children at Solid Ground. The stockings were stuffed with great care and creativity by all, certainly bringing great joy to children who would otherwise not experience the magical moments and giving spirit of Christmas. One member, as in previous years, donated a huge box of Mrs. Field’s cookies for the Solid Ground staff and families to enjoy. Without a doubt your stocking stuffers brightened the holiday season for the children and their parents who are struggling to escape homelessness and build of a new life of self-sufficiency. In addition, you are truly modeling for them the true spirit of service above self.
