Gazette, Jul y 30th, 2014 XMAS IN JULY from page 1B enjoy. Santa visited the children and and gave each one a toy. The children ranged in age from eight days old to 15 years in age. The club raised $1,300 starting Memorial Day and ending the second week of July, using donation jars placed in businesses around Pleasure Island and the Wilmington area. A few private donations were also accepted. Besides the boxes of toys, $500 in gift cards was also given to Michelle Erich for future needs of the playroom. Kathy Walsh, on behalf of Trolly Stop Hot
Dogs located on Fountain Drive in Wilmington, also presented Michelle with food coupons for the staff caring for the children. They too were not forgotten by Santa. One of Michelle’s “wish list items” is a pinball machine for the playroom. Carolina Beach Downtown Initiative (CBDI) with the help of Carolina Beach Mayor Dan Wilcox, is working hard to make that “wish” come true as a future donation for the playroom. A special thank you to Paul Boroznoff, Southern Digital Art, for his time and great photos of the event.
