Celabrating Christmas

Brightly colored packages of Christmas gifts surrounded the tree. The voices of singers echoed in the air. The sound of laughter filled the room. You could feel the spirit of Christmas as the people gathered for dinner and fellowship. A prayer was said for those who are alone at this time of the year and for those who are in need..

”This community does so much for the children of this area at Christmas time,” said Shon Gress to the members and guests of the Cambridge Lions Club. Gress is the director of the Senior Citizens Center. “Sometimes our senior citizens get overlooked. Some of them have outlived their relatives and there is no one left in their family.”

“For some of our senior citizens, this is the only gift they will receive,” Gress said. “We appreciate the gifts that members of the Lions Club give to them. You should see the smiles of appreciation on the faces of those who receive these gifts.”

The club was then treated to the musical gifts of the Trail Singers from Buckeye Trail High School. The talented Singers presented a program of Christmas music that set the mood for the season. The choir then invited the Lions and their guests to join in singing several Christmas songs and carols. The Trail Singers are directed by Tonya Biggins.

Guests of the club included several members of the Cambridge Lioness Club and wives, mothers, children and grandchildren of members.
