Many people look for ways to help others during the holidays, but generally, Christmas Eve is reserved for self and family - though not always. There are some who are willing to go above and beyond and volunteer their time and effort to help create a little Christmas magic.
Residents of the Suwannee County Nursing Center were treated to special gifts on Christmas Eve by local representatives of Mary Kay, during their Adopt a Grandparent for Christmas Program. The Mary Kay team sponsoring this program is called McNeal's Mighty Movers and they plan to serve the Nursing Center Residents with packages on many holidays. The next gift gift-away is planned for Mother's Day.
Local Senior Sales Director Julia Baker put together a team of other consultants from area to package and distribute 60 gift bags to SVNC residents. The bags were sponsored by numerous members of the community and businesses, with a value of $20 each.
On hand to greet residents with holiday wishes and deliver gifts were: Julia Baker, senior sales director, who is also a Hamilton County Sheriff's lieutenant; Florence Johnson, senior sales director from Jacksonville; Sales Director Sharon McNeal, Sales Consultant DeVaughlin Heflin of Lake City, who is employed by the Alachua County Sheriff's Office, Sales Consultant Melond Waters of Lake City, who is employed at Eastside Elementary, Sales Consultant Catherine Johnson, who is a PCS employee, and Sales Consultant Paula Archie of Lake City, who is employed at Doctor's Laboratory.
