Christmas is a time to give back, and this season was all about community.
I was grateful to be part of several charity-based events supporting Artesia and the surrounding communities:
Rotary Christmas Dinner at Northwoods Inn: Great food, a White Elephant gift exchange, and welcoming our newest Rotary members: Sally Flowers, Patty Rincon, and Linda Grace Gonzalez.
Christmas Toy Giveaway at London’s Pub: A drive-through toy giveaway where children received gifts donated by various sponsors. I provided sound equipment and music to help create a fun, festive atmosphere.
Holiday Toy Giveaway at AJ Padelford Park: Rotary volunteers served hot chocolate to families attending the event and the children got to take pictures with Mr. and Mrs. Santa Clause.
Christmas Toy & Dinner Giveaway hosted at Mayor Rene Trevino’s business, SCCI: Provided Christmas dinner packages to local families.
Proud to support organizations and people who step up to serve others, especially during the holidays. This is what community is all about.
Special thank you to the sponsors and partners who made these events possible:
Janice Hahn, City of Artesia, Artesia Mayor Rene Trevino, SCCI, Rotary Club of Cerritos-Artesia, London’s Pub, Surati Farsan Mart, Miss Artesia Pageant, Elite Equipment and Services, Ashoka The Great, National Environmental Services, Linda Grace Gonzalez, Lions Club, A.J.
