We had a group of 5 volunteers travel to the distribution center in Pearlington, MS (Pearl Mart) to distribute gift bags to 160 children who were adopted through our Adopt an Angel Program. The outreach was a huge success in that we had a tremendous amount of participation from the Savannah community as well as participation from folks from Colorado, Wisconsin, New York and North Carolina. The Stennis Rotary Club supplemented our outreach to include gift cards to an additional 120 children for a total of 280 children benefiting from this holiday outreach. We also adopted out 5 particularly needy families identified through the Gulfview Elementary School in Kiln, MS. The distribution was preceded by a 10 vehicle parade of emergency vehicles complete with sirens blaring and lights flashing. The parade ended at Pearl Mart with the arrival of the guest of honor, Santa, and his helper, who incidently looked a lot like Elvis! Special thanks to Asbury Memorial United Methodist Church, Hallmark Homes, and the Savannah Bar Association for their support.
