Christmas Sharing Report:
The 2015 event was held on Saturday, December 12, 2015. The school provided a list of 18 families for us to serve this year (49 children are in this group). The budget for the 2015 event was set at $2900 with the help of a $1300 contribution from Cargill and other donations throughout the year. Volunteers met at the Kroger store at 1934 Needmore Road at 10:30 AM on the 12th. Volunteers teamed up by two's, and each team shopped for a given family, and then delivered the groceries to that family. It was a great turnout, with about twenty club member/family member volunteers, plus over thirty volunteers from Cargill. Afterwards most of the volunteers met for lunch & socializing at Marion's Piazza on North Dixie at Noon. The club wishes to thank Cargill for the financial support of the program, and also to the Cargill employees and families who volunteered, plus all of the volunteers and supporters of the program.

Meeting of December 15:
| The program was provided by David Wright, a speaker and author, from Paradigm Performance Group. He was the speaker at the Nov. 24 Riverdale Optimist Club meeting which a number of our members attended. His program at Riverdale was very compelling, and Chris Young arranged for him to address our group. His topic was "Influences", and he spoke about how each of us has the power to influence others, using a fascinating story to illustrate how a small act of kindness can have far reaching positive effects. He reminded us that "a generation that we will never meet will be influenced by things we do today".
