Christmas Celebration at Childrens Home

The chapter hosted the annual Hope Children's Home Christmas Celebration in December at the MacDill Air Force Base Enlisted Club. Dave Riffe, school administrator at Hope Children's Home, cares for, nurtures and educates children of all ages who have been discarded, abused, abandoned or orphaned as an alternative to foster care. Due to charitable contributions, this year the home was able to build a cottage for sibling to live in, allowing brothers and sisters of the same family to live together. Attendees listened to testimonials of the children and were also presented with Christmas carols. The celebration concluded with a donation of $15,250 to the Hope Children's home as corporate members and sponsors contributed to this worthy institution.
