A big thank you from the bottom of my heart. Buckhead Rotary truly shines when we pair our fundraising efforts with hands-on service. Thanks to our members’ generosity, we funded 50 plushies, and with a one-for-one match from The Lumistella Company, we were able to provide every student and teacher with a toy.

A few of Santa’s elves delivered joy and cheer to the 94 students at the Boyce Ansley School, all on Santa’s nice list from kindergarten through 5th grade. We were greeted with cheers, grateful smiles, and even a few questions about when Santa might be stopping by.

Thanks to elves, Jim and Anne Breedlove, Jeff Clark, and our newest member, Carl Wiljelm who took the North Pole Express (MARTA) to join the festivities. And a special shout out to our Chief Elf, Miriam Falaki, for packing the sleigh, coordinating with Rudolf and the other reindeer, securing the plushies from Santa and his toy makers, The Lumistella Company, and making this day a holly-jolly fun time for the children at the Boyce Ansley School. What a wonderful way to give back to our community. I am truly proud of the impact we make as Buckhead Rotarians.
