Did someone say Santa was coming to town. He even brought Mrs. Claus to help with the day.
Santa and Mrs. Claus brought presents for our celebrated family.
Jasmine and Natalie Cofradia were amazed with the generiosity.
Mrs. Claus, Betty Davis, and Santa, Tom Keenan.
The helper elf, Jo Ann Parten, had to help Santa with what he brought for the girls. Santa's getting old and can't read so good anymore.
Toys, clothes, and shoes were abundant.
Momma, Rosa Cofradia, looked on with great amazement and gratitude.
Yes, warm coats were had by all.
Santa helps with the warm coat received by Jasmine.
It was a fun day for all.
Including Momma.
Jasmine and Natalie also received a nice Christmas tree for their room.
The attendees looked on and celebrated with the family.
CASA representative, Peggy Walker, gave an update on the status of several CASA children and thanked LCN for the annual Christmas donations.
Rosa Cofradia was very pleased and surprised by a donation the LCN members put together that day for her and her husband. Rosa and her husband had requested that all the gifts were for their girls.
LCN members carried the CASA Christmas gift bags to Peggy Walker's car for distribution to the CADA children.
The meeting was also used to install our new secretary Betty Davis and say goodbye to our outgoing secretary, Jo Ann Parten. Thank you for your service Jo Ann.
Emory Veteran's Day Parade
City of Emory's Veteran's Day parade had to be celebrated by LCN as well. We love our veterans. A float with some of our local veterans displayed our colors and showed our true spirit and love of country.
Preparing the float. Thanks to all the ladies that helped make this a success.
Thank you to all the veterans too.
From our oldest to the youngest veteran, we are so very proud and thankful for what you gave to keep this country One Nation Under God.
Past President, Betty Davis and current President Carolyn West
Displayed in the center of the float was a tower of honor and respect with photos from our past Flag Day and Veteran's Thank You picnic.
Pete Diaz was gracious enough to pull our float in the parade. Thank you Pete.
How proud we were to wave our flags and thank our veterans.
Our float won second place in the parade and received a Texas flag as an award. The flag will be auctioned during our Mardi Gras Silent Auction event to go towards our scholarship fund.
