| Charlie Adams visits Santa and his volunteer Rotarians at Southern Lights at the Kentucky Horse Park |
RC Lexington conducted its annual project at Southern Lights at the Kentucky Horse Park. Funds raised at this event purchase coats for needy children. Rotarians assist Santa as many children are photographed sitting on Santa's knee and passing along their Christmas wish lists. The job of recruiting Santas and elves has really become no job at all. It requires over one hundred volunteers to cover the thirty-four or so nights – from the Friday before Thanksgiving through December 23rd (with Thanksgiving night off). They rise to the occasion and get the job done. Each night they show up to give four hours of their already heavily-scheduled December. Participation has become an annual family event as daddies play Santa and wives and children play elves – all in appropriate attire. Each year there are new recruits, but some are about to be fifteen-year veterans.
Charlie Adams, son of District Governor John and Christie Adams enjoyed his visit to Southern Lights with parents and his two grandmothers, too! It is rumored that DG Adams volunteered at a later date - does anyone recognize this elf?
