For over 25 years Hamilton AM Rotary has hosted a Christmas Breakfast for students and staff. Under the capable leadership of Michelle Austin, Elizabeth Ward and Irene Stayshyn, this "Christmas Miracle" was pulled off on December 18, again, without a hitch!
Special this year was an appearance by Hamilton Mayor, Andrea Horwath who not only brought greetings from the City of Hamilton but also helped out in the classrooms, doling out syrup on those delicious pancakes.
Four teams of Rotarians cooked up about 700 pancakes and other club members, Rotaractors and friends delivered them hot to each classroom. Each student also received a "goodie bag" full of candy, a stuffed toy, mitts and a toothbrush and toothpaste. A new book courtesy of Hamilton Public Library was also there to take home!
This was a great event, loved by students and teachers alike but especially heart warming for Hamilton AM Rotarians and friends. Merry Christmas everyone!
