STAR'S ANNUAL TOY
DRIVE |
|

|
|
Pace
Head Start School on December 22, 2011 was the next stop for the Senior
Tour Auto Racers,as once more they made their appearance
to the
Pace
Head
Start
School
in the city of New Bedford for their annual toy drive.
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. 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.
Now even some of the Star members were asking for something special from
Santa. You know the old
saying “All I want for Christmas is my front teeth” stated Star Elf
Dwight Lowes. He also wanted
a bike, now we did not say what kind of bike, but we caught him in the
hallways of the school with his new toy. Then
it was recess time for the Star members.
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, and Dwight Lowes.
A special thank you goes out to Dennis Lowes for once more
playing Star’s Santa. Thank
you goes out to Bill & Eva McAvoy for making up special bags of toys
and candy to hand out to each child.
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.
