Spreading cheer to 125 local children, the members of the Sheriff’s Advisory Council spent December 20 working in the Deputy Santa workshop sorting and tagging the numerous gifts made possible by the local community.
“There were more individual contributions than can be listed, and each one was just as important as the next. The Deputy Santa program can do this because of all the people who were involved in one way or another” said Sheriff Crockett.
In addition to the individual donations, support came from the members of both St. Andrews Presbyterian Church and Grace Episcopal Church; Miles and Sharon Courson of Locust Hill Plantation; businesses including Sterling Mortgage, Perfect Touch, Light House Service Center, and Wal-Mart; Bank of Lancaster; Northern Neck Insurance Company; James Insurance; the patients of Dr. Matt Shifflett of Pure & Simple Chiropractic; and the Bethel-Emmanuel United Methodist Men.
Kicking off the 2007 Deputy Santa program was the annual golf tournament at The Tartan Golf Course, which raised $2,100. Donations to the Deputy Santa program can be made at anytime through the year by contacting Sheriff Crockett or any member of the Sheriff’s Advisory Council. |
