On December 19, 2012 the Boys & Girls Club took 44 children to Greenwood Mall to visit Payless Shoe Store.
Debra Hall, the now former Executive Director, of the Boys & Girls Club had submitted a grant to Payless ShoeSource in their Payless Gives Shoes 4 Kids campaign. The club was awarded $20 gift cards for 50 children to receive a new pair of shoes.
A few children that were unable to attend due to illness therefore the staff picked out a pair of shoes for these children so they would not have to go without.

On Tuesday, December 18th a Morgantown Christmastime tradition happened once again with Dr. Wan's annual Head Start Christmas. For the past 28 years the Head Start children have received gifts furnished by the good doctor.

Due to improved veterinary care and dietary habits, pets are living longer now than they ever have before. One consequence of this is that pets, along with their owners and veterinarians, are faced with a whole new set of age-related conditions. In recent years there has been extensive research on the problems facing older pets and how their owners and veterinarians can best handle their special needs.

Thanks to Cousin Pat Porter, wife, Betty, and her niece, Julie & husband, Mike Horneback, we rode in their horse drawn carriage during the Christmas parade in Morgantown on December 1, 2012.   This was so much fun!  The weather was warmer than I can ever remember for the parade.  This was our 50th Christmas together.   (Photo by Josh Givens)

My sincere thanks to Mayor Linda Keown, her husband Bobby, Harold Deweese and Donald Morrison for their assistance. Last week I went to my son's grave in Morgantown to place birthday flowers on his grave.  His Christmas flowers were missing, I searched and searched but could not locate the flowers.  Mayor Keown sent Bobby, Harold, and Donald to my rescue.  They locate the flowers and secured them to the grave site.  Thank you so much for your assistance.
