The Citizens for a Better Byrnes Mill would like to thank everyone who donated canned goods to our Christmas display at the Schroeder Farm. We donated two car loads of canned goods and $505.00 dollars to the Peace Pantry in Cedar Hill. We plan on making this a yearly event. Please visit the Peace Pantry and drop off canned foods all year long. These people are all volunteers and it is a blessing that we have such an opportunity like this in the community for those who are in need of help from time to time.
We would also like to thank the Lions Club for sponsoring the first annual Christmas parade. The Bonacker and the Schroeder families entered the parade and all of our members rode on the floats and handed out candy and coloring books, dressed up in costumes. We all had the best time. You could just see the joy in the all the children's faces. This was such a great event for the community and it just goes to show what can be accomplished when we work together. We as a committee know that you can buy your child the most expensive toy on the market but in twenty years, when that child is grown up, he won't remember that toy but he will remember the time his parents spent with him and his parents will remember the twinkle in his eyes as he waited for Santa to come by in his sleigh.
God Bless Claudia, Karen, and all the volunteers who brought our fine cities of Byrnes Mill and House Springs together. Photos from the event will be posted soon so please check back.
