The Rotary Club of Bishop Supports The Wish Tree Program
The Rotary Club of Bishop again joined a long list of local clubs, organizations and nonprofit groups who themselves joined thousands of residents in supporting the Wish Tree Program.
On December 13th, Rotarians Nancy Lowthorp, Kay O’Brien, Larry Clark, Ed and Pat Nahin delivered dozens of gifts to IMACA Deputy Community Service Director, Terri Speidel. Lesli Pool and her daughter Zoey greeted the Rotarians while they were helping sort and package the hundreds of gifts that have been donated. Kathie Keesler, IMACA Program Specialist reported that residents took hundreds of Wish Tree bulbs offered by IMACA this year. Each bulb corresponded to a child in need and their requests ranging from plush toys, to art supplies, to video games, to dolls, to clothes to bicycles.
The staff at IMACA said they have been overwhelmed by the generosity of the community and know there are going to many happy children receiving gifts this Christmas.
