On his own, a manager at Bell Helicopter decided to adopt a special needs non-profit for Christmas. He and his 130 plus employees (that he managed) and also friends, adopted the Clubhouse for Special Needs and showered the young people with Christmas gifts. From the photo you can see the surprise, joy and shock on three of the young people as they entered the room. 

They also gave a multitude of gifts to The Clubhouse itself - from beads for crafts to ink for the printer and also funds to purchase a brand new air hockey table!  Wow!

Santa and Mrs. Claus from Santa U.S.A. also came and were a delight to each young person as each sat on his lap and made their Christmas wishes.


                THANK YOU ALL FOR THE        GREATEST CHRISTMAS EVER!!

Our founder, Darlene J. Hollingsworth, was honored to be one of twenty to be nominated as HOMETOWN HERO at the Northeast Chamber of Commerce.
