SPACE, Inc. held our annual Christmas party this Friday following our quarterly team meeting.  Yes, we had a lovely setting, fully and beautifully decorated.  Yes, we had Secret Santa gifts for each other.  Yes, there was a delicious meal that received rave reviews.  But…

We also used the opportunity to create holiday memories for others in our community who aren’t as fortunate as we are.  Kathie and Stacy baked almost 200 cookies.  Each team member got 6 cookies to decorate with frosting and all varieties of toppings.  Enjoying the camaraderie of our tablemates, we created festive, colorful cookies.  After the frosting set, they were donated to Hidden Harvest, a local non-profit that distributes food to soup kitchens, food pantries, and shelters.

Even our Secret Santa gifts reflected commitment to a larger community.  Some team members gave back by donating funds in honor of the recipient’s favorite cause.  Beneficiaries were the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, the American Cancer Society, and Heifer International.

Thank you to all the SPACE Team for sharing with others during this Season of Giving.  We live our core value of community service every day.  Merry Christmas to all!
