LIZ: This is just about the most awesome thing that we can have come. These are wonderful
gifts for our participants. Many of them don't have a lot, or they don't have a lot of family,
and so this is great, this is Santa coming to town, so we are going to make a lot of people happy.
VALERIE: I don't think I have ever seen this many gifts
come in this place, so they're all pretty excited.
MARIA: The gift of these blankets, they promote warmth, but it also gives a little bit of
joy and Christmas cheer to our seniors, may who may not receive other gifts or have family to give them.
TRACEY: Just a warm felt event, a great, great
way to reach out to the community, to touch lives, and to promote goodwill.
MAN: Are you excited about the blanket?
Yea. Is it a good thing?
WOMAN: That's for my *** cat. GROUP: Merry Christmas! Thank you.
TRACEY: We were able to unload packages, and gifts. We were able to distribute the gifts,
after we had a wonderful holiday meal. For this specific fundraiser to take a different
route, we have done Adopt-a-Family in the past and so I was excited to start with Adopt-Senior this year.
ALFRED: It has always been a privilege and a pleasure to have all these people to come,
and give us a Christmas party. I love them, and respect them all. God bless you all!
MARIA: Again, this is a very vulnerable group of individuals in our community,
and the gift of these blankets, they promote warmth, and
it also gives a little bit of joy and Christmas cheer to our seniors, many of whom may not
receive other gifts or have family members In order to give them. We're so honored to be a recipient of this wonderful gift.

that made this celebration possible, and happy. Thank you.
