On December 21st, 2007 Star held its annual toy donation at Pace Head Start School, New Bedford , Ma. Snow lightly covered the ground and gave the real atmosphere of a White Christmas. This year Star serviced over 200 high risk, low-income children. For most of these children this would be the only Christmas they would receive. The day began at 9:00 as Star’s Santa; Dennis Lowes made his way to the first classroom only to be greeted by smiling faces and cheers from the children. As Santa passed out the toys you could see the sparkle in these children eyes as they open up their bag to find it full of toys. Some of the children even climbed into the bags to look at what they had received. When Santa left each classroom the children would hug and kiss him good-bye. Sometimes so many children surrounded Santa that you could hardly see him. I know Santa loved this! It sure made a difference in lives of kids who really needed it the most and Star wants to thank all the members who donated to Star’s toy drive and just let them know they made a different in these children that day. With toys and donations Star was able to service all the children this year. But then we have Star’s elves busy carrying bags and bags of toys from classroom to classroom
