Retired School Personnel were on hand during the holidays at the Gatesville Care Center. They helped to unload about 20 or more boxes of books and set them out for display on two 8-foot tables at the center. Clients of the Care Center were allowed to select Christmas gifts including several toys, games, stocking stuffers, and books for their children who were 12 years old or younger. Others who helped on this project at the Care Center included Nancy Morgan, Audra Wallace, and Gail Johnson. Pictured left to right is Cherry Braziel, Frances Wise, and JoAnn Sugg, who were among the Retired School Personnel who helped unload boxes of books.
