Middle Georgia

摘要

Filled with holiday spirit, the chapter members played a vital role in the 461st Air Control Wing's "Christmas for the Kids" event that transformed the Methodist Home for Children located in Macon, Georgia. More than 400 people attended the event with the children, including chapter members, community leaders and Robins Air Force Base personnel. This $60,000 celebration focused on the 82 orphans and culminated with the dedication of an Air Force Heritage Room. Chapter volunteers along with volunteers from Robins Air Force Base completely renovated a 700-square-foot traditional game room. After two weeks of intense work, the room had dazzling new paint, a repaired pingpong table, a custom-built basketball return, hand-painted Air Force legacy murals, a Nintendo Wii gaming center and a custom-built combat communications area complete with camouflage netting. Each of the 82 children received a $50 gift from their sponsor from their list to Santa. Additionally, volunteers and sponsors donated and delivered more than $25,000 worth of gifts for Christmas morning.
