Christmas Angels Golf Tournament

Players: Frank Breckenridge, Mike Nichols, John Edmunson, Lon Hill, Jim Eaton, Sondra Eaton, John Thompson, Jamay Larsen, Jeff Stewart, Don Parsons. Not shown: Candy Cullen

Early numbers are in and it looks like our Golf Tournament raised over $1,000.00 for the Christmas Angels!  Thanks to Don Parsons and Dick Fisher for all their work in putting it together, to all the Rotarians who helped, and especially to Jim and Sondra of Peninsula Golf, without whom the event would not have taken place.

It turned out to be a soggy day, bringing out only 15 players, but all were able to play between showers and stay dry, having a great time along the way.

The winners:

• 1st Place: Jeff Stewart & John Edmunson
• 2nd Place: Lon Hill & John Thompson
• 3rd Place: Don Parsons & Vinnie Ciariamella

Christmas Angels Golf Tournament

The Christmas Angels program provides moderately-priced gifts to disadvantaged youth.  Local banks put up Christmas trees each season, which are adorned with angels that have their Christmas wishes on them.  Patrons of the banks select angels, purchase gifts, and put them beneath the tree, wrapped and labeled for the child.

Unfortunately, not all the angels are chosen from the tree, so Rotary raises funds to purchase those gifts so that no child will go without on Christmas morning.  In addition to fund raising, the club advertises and then puts together a call center for those wishes to be phoned in.  We wrap presents that we purchase and that come back to the banks unwrapped.

This outstanding program was created and run by the Long Beach Grange for many years.  When the Grange had to let go of the program, Rotary stepped in to fill the void.
