Two local service clubs and a barbecue restaurant in Enterprise, Alabama, collaborated to bring joy to children in need this holiday season.
Local service organizations and a popular barbecue restaurant took extra measures to ensure a bright holiday for youngsters in the Enterprise area. Members of the Luncheon Pilot Club of Enterprise and the Enterprise Rotary Club held a special needs Christmas party at the First Baptist Church in Enterprise.
Fran Walters, the LPCE Chair for the Christmas Party, did an excellent job of contacting the schools for a list of special needs individuals, getting their wish lists and inviting them and their parents to attend. Members of the two clubs met one evening to purchase a gift from the wish lists for each person and then met the following week to wrap the gifts. LPCE members decorated the hall and placed the gifts under the Christmas tree. Individuals attending checked in upon arriving to get their name tag and a “goodie” basket filled with many special gifts. People are also reading… Singing of Christmas carols was followed by pizza, a Christmas tree cake and a drink. The highlight of the evening was the appearance of Santa Claus who presented a gift to each individual as their name was read. The LPCE extends special thanks to all the members of the two clubs that assisted with this project. Many members from each club volunteered to make the evening a success. The spirit of Christmas was recently alive at ‘Big Daddy’s Real Pit Bar B Que” on North Rawls Street in Enterprise as the front entrance room is filled with bicycles, dolls, games, and other new toys that have been donated for children in need in Coffee County. Madison “Big Daddy” Terry has coordinated the Christmas toy drive at his restaurant for years, he said. The beneficiaries are the children being served by the Coffee County Department of Human Resource
