WHAT’S HAPPENING
The Most Wonderful Time of the Year As 2023 came to a close, the Community Relations Committee members adopted two families from St. Paul’s Center in Rensselaer for the holidays. Committee members purchased clothing, toys, housewares, and gift cards to help brighten the season for the adopted families. Many thanks to Brenda Larkin, Chris Glogowski, Dave Lavoie, Diane Sluus (Chair, Community Relations Committee), Dom Indelicato, Ginny O’Brien, Jonie Civill, Judy Kaiser, Karen Cahill, Melissa Petalas, and Toni Curley for their generosity and support for these families in our region. The beautiful gifts will surely put a smile on the faces of the recipients.
Committee members also baked a variety of wonderful cookies for 50 residents of a shelter in Albany. On December 15, the committee packaged an assortment of cookies in festive bags, and they were delivered to DePaul Housing for distribution to those in need. Thank you for your Kindness and Generosity!
GCAR thanks all of you who donated bedding for the local chapter of “Sleep in Heavenly Peace,” an organization that builds beds for children who do not have one of their own. When beds are delivered to a home, they also receive a new mattress and bedding. The chapter was thrilled to receive the donations from the GCAR membership to help in this critical endeavor. Many thanks to the Community Relations Committee for a job well done this year!
