HO HO
was the sound in the halls of the Pace Head Start School on December 21,
2012 as the Senior Tour Auto Racers once more made their appearance to
the
Pace
Head
Start
School
in the city of New Bedford for their annual toy drive. This will be the
13th year that Star has been donating toys to the needy
children at Christmas time. Children
awaiting for Santa to come and give them a Christmas that they would not
have had. As Star’s Santa
made his entry to each classroom followed by his elves with bags and
bags of toys, smiles and tears of joy from so many children greeted him.
Can you image if Santa had not showed up!
Another disappoint in the lives for such small children.
But because of the members of Star we were able to once more make
the lives of these small children a dream come true.
Santa did not forget them this year!! All
year long Toy Drive Chairperson Tammy Barboza has been collecting toys
and donations to buys toys to service about 150 children.
Tammy takes a list of names of the children and what they would
like for Christmas. She
tries her hardest to appease most of them but most of the time is very
easy. Some will ask
for a doll, a truck, or a game, but most of them just say anything Santa
can bring.
Star would like to thank the following for their support as being elves
and helping with the toy drive; Matthew
Barboza, Michael Barboza, Charlie Lima, Mary Lima, Bill McAvoy, Kevin
McCarthy, James Allen , Tina
and Dwight Lowes. A special
thank you goes out to Dennis Lowes for once more playing Star’s Santa.
And hats off to our Chairperson Tammy Barboza for all her hard
work and dedication to the
Star Toy Drive
with out her this would not have happen.
A very special Thank You to the Star members would had a big
heart and the thought of giving, you are all special.
It could not have happen with out your support. |
