Wednesday, December 6, 2017 - Every year, our Kiwanis Rough Risers club adopts a family for Christmas through the Salvation Army. This means that we raise the money, buy the presents, and wrap the gifts to put under their Christmas trees. This year we adopted two families.We began by raising the money for the gifts. We "passed the envelope" around the room a few times to collect money from the members. Once we had collected the funds, specific members (and/or their spouses) volunteered to purchase gifts for each of the family members. These gifts included specific items requested by the family members as well as gift cards to various stores.
Today, it was time to wrap the presents and deliver them to Santa. This is always a fun day as we get to fold, crease, and tape paper around our gifts. Below is a set of photos of our Rough Risers wrapping:
