Holiday Season of Sharing
Riverdale CU #100 - Ron Jacobs
Riverdale High School Rotary Interact
members in Port Byron, with items
they collected for "Operation Care
Package", a volunteer 501(c)(3) public
charity, dedicated to their mission that
no Hero serving our Nation should be
forgotten. These items will be
delivered to the Illinois based
organization for them to package, and
send overseas to our
Troops. Riverdale HS Interact
members collected nearly 2,400 items
for this cause.
Lockport Twp #205 - Dr. Todd
Wernet
At Lockport Township High School
District 205, the spirit of giving is
going strong. Our Madrigal singers
performed at the annual Chamber of
Commerce holiday luncheon. Staff
and family were invited to learn more
about holiday celebrations around the
world by our special ed students at
the Special Education Holiday Tea.
We collected more than 1,000 toys
during our annual toy drive Athletic
Director Brian Goff and secretary
Donna Pattison are pictured with the
toys, which are donated to area
hospitals for sick children.
Central Comm #301 - Dr. Todd Stirn
At Prairie View Grade School, compassion is the
Character Counts
trait for December, and to help
teach compassion for others, the 1
st
/2
nd
grade
hallway was transformed into
The Giving Mall
,
where each classroom was a store front.
Students collected, brought in, and sorted
donations needed by local charities. Each child
had the opportunity to visit all the store fronts,
where they stocked the shelves with the donations
they brought in.
