COMMUNITY
Jackie Robinson YMCA Toy Giveaway Voice & Viewpoint Staff
This was another one of many toy giveaway events last Saturday as community organizations made every effort to contribute their spirit of giving to the Christmas holidays.
This year, as usual, there was a Santa to meet the kids at the front door; boxes of gifts in beautiful red plastic bags and a host of volunteers to assist the kids through a well organized pickup. This was all on the Jackie Robinson YMCA upper deck as one exited toward the playing fields. On the field there were at least two Santa Photo setups for those kids
who wanted a picture with Santa. There were large crowds of parents and kids at the 9am opening, followed by smaller waves of kids as the morning went on. The number of recipients for the total event was nowhere near what it has often been in the past. There was a general feeling that the number of such toy giveaways at
the same time impacted the expected numbers. Nevertheless, this event was a success and the staff and volunteers are to be thanked for their “Spirit of Christmas” attitude and their service.

Christmas Celebration At Senior Center Voice & Viewpoint Staff The Fourth District Senior Resource Center (FDSRC) known to the community as the George Stevens Center, held its annual Christmas Dinner and celebration last Saturday. The event played to a full house with bright holiday colors and decorations. Mrs. Rosemary Pope, Center Director, hosted the event with music, songs and a number of awards for different areas of service. Fourth District City Council Member Monica Montgomery-Steppe was on hand to assist with the distribution of awards and flowers which were handed out to individuals, and she actively supported the entire event. Food served for lunch was home cooked, as usual, and everyone had a great time.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM THE
OG Sandbox Organization By Darrel Wheeler . Contributing Writer The OG’s got together again for their annual toy giveaway last weekend at their old stomping grounds of Mountain View Park, aka Ocean View. The annual event was done on a first come first serve basis.
All the youngsters had to do was stand in line, wait their turn to pick a gift, and enjoy the holiday expe-
rience, all thanks to the generosity of the Original Generation. “We kind of put this year’s event together at the last minute because of the COVID situation but I still think it was a success” said OGSB President Aaron Gibson. “The kids were really cool and we still get a kick out of helping them. Overall, today was a good day!”
