The Foundation proudly presented our 12th annual \u201cOperation Santa Claus\u201d program under the leadership of Chair, Anne Luong. Working with the Sacramento Chinese Community Service Center staffers, we procured applications from their after school program for deserving youngsters.<\/p>\n

A big thank you to our faithful volunteer shoppers and our Board members for shopping and gift wrapping gifts; a big thank you to Dave Young for housing and organizing the many bags of gifts and driving them to the assigned school. Thanks to Ray Giles for offering his services as our photographer, and thank you to Service Center staff for providing snacks, beverages, and coordinating activities for the kids.<\/p>\n

We provided a craft activity coordinated by Karun Yee, Merlayna Yee-Chin, June Fong and Brenda Fong. The highlight of the day was a visit from \u201cSanta Claus\u201d (aka Franc Martinez) \u2013Santa was a great hit with the kids and their families!<\/p>\n

We are grateful to the SCCSC staff, and our many CACS volunteer shoppers, and donors who made this year\u2019s a success. We serviced approximately 100 families from 7 local area schools. <\/p>\n

This annual event is a way of giving back to those less fortunate, and sharing with the community the holiday spirit! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
