In December, COVID-19 restrictions would not allow the Rotary Club of Hamilton AM to host its annual Christmas Pancake Breakfast at Hess Street School. Instead, club member donated time and money to producing Christmas Gift Bags for every one of the over 200 students. On the evening of December 16, club members "stuffed" the bags with goodies that included books, games, snacks and drinks at the home of Rotarian Paul Reardon. The next day they were delivered to the school in time for the last day of class before the Christmas Break.
We know that the children loved their special Christmas packages but the depth of their feeling was unknown until the following pictures arrived. They also sent a number of delightful notes with such lovely sentiments and such terrible printing and spelling. Great memories for our club members who were able to express their Christmas spirit in such a caring way!
