Lake Ridge, VA – The Woodbridge Rotary Club hosted their Annual Christmas Dinner for the children of the Prince William County / Manassas Boys & Girls Clubs.
The event was hosted at the Westminster at Lake Ridge retirement community. Over 100 youth between the ages of 5 and 14 were in attendance. The youth were from the Manassas, Hylton (Dale City), and General Heiser (Dumfries) Boys & Girls Club branches.
Boys & Girls Club members received an excellent dinner prepared by Tom Weaver and the dining services staff at Westminster at Lake Ridge. 15 Rotarians volunteered their time to help serve dinner to the children.
Holiday music was provided by the New Dominion Choraliers. Santa arrived to hand out gifts, also sponsored by the Woodbridge Rotary Club, to each child in attendance.
The Boys & Girls Clubs of Prince William County / Manassas serve nearly 4,500 youth through various programs and services. Membership to the Boys & Girls Club is just $30 year and no child is turned away if the family cannot afford to pay. The Woodbridge Rotary Club is a not-for-profit service club whose members believe in “Service above Self”, this event was made possible because of their generosity. Many of the youth in attendance come from disadvantaged families and for them this event truly helped to make a positive impact on their Christmas season.
