Holiday Wishes from our Family to Yours!  Thank you for all of the blessings you have bestowed upon us this Holiday Season!  We are forever grateful for your continued support! 

We celebrated our 8th Annual Holiday Dinner at the Terrace Club this year with 420 people in attendance!  Thank you to all who made our 8th Annual Holiday Dinner a Huge Success, including Cathy Veres and The St. Paul's Men's Council who sponsored the gifts for our students and their younger siblings!


Also, we were overwhelmed by the generosity of those who were willing to help other families in need this holiday season.  Thank you for adopting our families, because of you we were able to provide Christmas to 25 of our families, who otherwise would not have experienced the joy of finding presents under the tree! A Special Thank You to:

Do you know how long it takes to get all four sites to sit for a photo? 
Hence, why only half the kids are looking at the camera:)


Happy Holidays!
