My friends, Mitch and Mike McGuire (yes they are identical twins) have organized and hosted a gift giving party for the children of the Boys and Girls Club on South Troy for over 20 years. I have been volunteering for this event for the past 12 years only missing one or two parties. Good friend, Melissa has also joined in the fun the past several years. Each year, they purchase and we wrap 4 presents for each child (this year 41 children attended the party). Santa delivers three presents to each child at the party and the parents are given one to take home for them to unwrap Christmas morning. The gift giving follows games with prizes and lunch also provided by the McGuires. This year, TJ also volunteered his time. He assisted with the bozo bucket game! It is a rewarding way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
