Last night we attended a holiday fundraiser that’s organized by a local social service agency. We came with friends for the festivities, fun, and food but got even more in return: Olivia and I got our names in the newspaper. Here’s an excerpt of the article in which we were mentioned:
Four-year-old Olivia K. sang “Jingle Bells” into the microphone. Olivia’s father, Chris K. of [our hometown], said the festival is a “great way to jumpstart the holidays. And it’s for such a good cause.”
The [previously named] nonprofit agency serves more than 1,000 families every year with residential treatment, family and community services and academic services for children.
The goal for this year’s festival is $170,000.
Olivia said her favorite part of the festival was telling her holiday wishes to Santa Claus. She said she told him that for her the greatest gift of all would be a sewing machine. [Ha! What a stitch!]
