DRIVE THRU SANTA

The Rotary Club of Waterdown hosted a Drive Through Santa event at the local Joe Sam’s Park on the weekends of December 5/6th and 12th/13th. Families could register for a time to safely talk with Santa. Gary Flood, Chair of Community Service, and numerous other Rotarians put time and effort into the event which gathered over 150 cars over the two weekends.  Gary Flood was quoted as saying, "The club and town of Waterdown were lucky to catch Santa for the event given he has a busy schedule with December 25th coming up fast."

I just wanted to give a huge shout-out and thank you to Rotary and everyone involved in making drive-thru Santa at Joe Sams happen this year! We have been in a very tight bubble for lots of reasons and my 3-year-old hasn't had much if any interaction with any other children - it's been really hard.  He absolutely LOVED meeting Santa and this was followed by a reindeer hunt afterward for hours of Christmas fun! It really meant a lot to see so many people volunteer and put this time in to make sure our kids had something special this Christmas at a time when I know we are all stretched thin.  So.....THANK YOU from a very tired Mom and Dad!
