Dave & Jahleel waiting in line to see Santa—

These pictures are from Goodfellows 2002, where the Jaycees take out over 100 kids for a day—was a great experience taking these disadvantaged kids out for dinner with Santa then clothes shopping at Belks, the kids were a blast and we all had a great time. Definitely one of the highlights of the holiday season.

Driving the Santa Express, a van full of overly excited kids and chaperones listening to Christmas Carols—

The kids had a great time but I think we had more fun sharing the day with them—
Greetings from Dave!
