Each year the Kiwanis Club of the Central Adirondacks collects and distributes gifts and toys to special families in the Woodgate, Thendara, Old Forge, Eagle Bay, and Inlet area and in recent years has added Long Lake and Indian Lake.
In 2016, this very worthwhile program provided 672 gifts and toys to over 224 children in the Central Adirondack Community. Which now covers five towns in three counties.
This year Kiwanis again partnered with the Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program, which greatly helped in providing the appropriate gifts for children of all ages. The Dec. 21 gift wrapping party was held at the VIEW.
Chris Gaige, Past President of Kiwanis and Linda Kurtz co-Chairs commented, "There was more help and cooperation for this year's project than ever before and we want to extend our sincere thanks to VIEW for the use of their facility to sort and wrap the gifts".
Chris also recognized the generosity of the entire Central Adirondack community.
