Optimist Club Sponsors ‘Christmas Wish’ Program
Oct. 15, 2009 2:16 pm
The Optimist Club of Caroline County for the second year will offer this holiday season a program called “Making Christmas Wishes Come True.” The program seeks to bring the joys of the holiday season into the lives of a Caroline County resident or family through the love of another person. The program works like this: The Optimist Club will accept nominations from individuals who identify and explain how they would spend $1,000 to help a Caroline individual or family this Christmas. The nomination would go into detail as to how the money would be spent and how receiving the gift the individual or family would enjoy a special Christmas. The Optimist Club will select the best project and then meet with the person submitting the nomination to make the “wish come true” for the individual or family mentioned in the nomination. Only Caroline County residents can receive the gift, but nominations can be received from anyone. Nominations should be made to assist an individual or family with special circumstances that $1,000 would make a difference in their holiday season. The funds will be spent fulfilling that “Christmas wish” that under ordinary circumstances the individual or family would not obtain it. Deadline for nominations is Monday, November 23 and the winning nomination will be notified on Wednesday, December 9. Nominations must be submitted in writing and the proposed recipient clearly identified. Please submit nominations with name, address, phone number and/or e-mail address to: Optimist Club of Caroline County, % President Cindy Ashcraft, 17173 Camellia Drive, Ruther Glen, VA 22546. The Optimist Club is a non-profit organization chartered to advance the mission of youth activities. Contact Ms. Ashcraft at (804) 448-1974 or Karen Jenkins at (804) 633-4530 for additional information.
