Christmas Parties

The interns and I spent last week preparing for three major parties; one in Queens, one in Brooklyn, and one in the Bronx. We spent time wrapping presents and preparing for these parties. The first party was held in Queens. The party started off with food being served. Then a lovely musician entertained us with music in Spanish. The night was full of smiles, picture taking and laughter. I even got to meet some of the babies that were saved from abortion. It’s a blessing to know that these beautiful babies were saved from the knife of the doctor. Later on presents were given out and I was pleased and satisfied to see the smiles of the kids. They are such humble kids. They really loved their presents.
The second party was held in Brooklyn which was the biggest of all the partie being thrown. There was music, food courtesy of Court Order, and lots of presents. Once again I looked forward to present time because the smiles of the kids gave me joy. That was all I needed to see that night.
The third party was on Monday night in the Bronx. The Franciscan Friars gave us the use of their hall at St Crispin´s friary. Again we had many happy moms and kids and great fried chicken, too! And, of course, Santa made an appearance to give presents to the delighted children (the basketballs were a big hit with the older boys!)
I am happy to that all parties were a success. Teamwork was what we need to make the parties a success.
