Child's Gift of Giving
How would you feel if you were a child who, at Christmas, was unsure if there would be any gifts at all in your home? In 1996, The Rotary Club of Naples created "Child's Gift of Giving." Now 15 years later, in cooperation with Foster Care Council of SW Florida and Germain Automotive, we are still making dreams come true for many kids. In mid-December, we arrange for our Rotarian volunteers to take these children shopping for their foster parents and siblings and afterward attend a luncheon at Germain's Honda dealership to wrap the gifts. The child is also encouraged to pick out a gift for themselves.
It is a truly rewarding experience for all involved and a delight to see the spirit of giving reach those who might not otherwise be so fortunate to receive.
On Sunday, December 11, 2011, we met at the Walmart on the east Trail at 9 AM. This event is completely sponsored by Germain Automotive Group. We shopped with the children for over an hour and then headed over to Germain Honda on Davis Boulevard where we wrapped the gifts and enjoyed a festive atmosphere of giving. Then we all had lunch and departed around 1 PM. If you are interested, have questions or just want to help out next year, please contact Mia Delk.
