Golden Givings is a charitable gift giving program that I started almost four years ago for the elderly in area nursing homes. As a member of Law Enforcement I have seen many citizens many of them elderly in deplorable conditions. I wanted to show that people do care about these lost citizens. I discovered especially during the Holidays these Golden citizens are lonely, sad and forgotten. It is amazing what a small gift of love and appreciation can do to the spirits and overall happiness of one of our elderly citizens. The first year in 2008 Golden Givings handed out over 200 gifts to the elderly and sick in nursing homes. Since 2008 Golden Givings has grown to giving out over 1300 gifts in 2011, 1600 in 2012 and a total of 3100 gifts in 4 years. Golden Givings not only provided gifts to the elderly in nursing homes but also distributed gifts to abused and neglected children in family shelters and orphanages and to the terminally ill in hospices. This year the need will be even greater and that is where I am graciously asking for your assistance. To keep up with the increasing need I have put together the Crystal Community Club Halloween Monster Bash to benefit Golden Givings. Some of the ways that you can help as a good neighbor and member of the business community are through monetary donations, gift certificates for raffles, or purchasing of a table of 10 for $250 or individual tickets at $25 per ticket/ $30 at door. Any help or assistance will be thankfully accepted as I hope to make this an annual Fund raising event for all to enjoy. Any questions or in need of tickets please call:
