Amazing Grace St. John and the tenants of 2 Park Vista
gathered together December 6 to collect gifts and raise money to help a local
women’s shelter.
The event raised $260 for the shelter and six large bags of
toys were donated, along with a box of assorted dolls lovingly hand-crafted by Carole
Ward.
Tenants were treated to baked goodies, holiday music and lively
conversation. Guests even got to greet the season’s star icon, Santa, a role
performed with jolly flair by Roy Delavigne, who has more than 15 years of
experience as a mall Santa. Roy took time out from his busy holiday schedule to
support a worthy cause.
When the event ended, Santa’s helpers Lexi, Max, Zoe and Gabby
made sure the gifts were safely delivered to YWCA shelter manager Carla Netro
for needy families to enjoy this holiday season.
