SPJST Welcomes Christmas Season
With Thoughts of You at Christmas As the holiday season approaches, our hearts are warmed by thoughts of the many good people we’ve had the opportunity to serve this year. You’ve certainly brightened our year! Thank you for your support and loyalty. We look forward to seeing you in the new year.
George’s Generosity Gives Gifts
Thanks to SPJST Lodge 246, Morgan’s Point member George Brown for his donation of almost 100 stuffed animals to a local children’s charity for the holidays. George has collected more than 500 stuffed animals in the past three years and donated them to children’s charities for the Christmas season. Hats off to George for his giving spirit.
