While people everywhere are gathered with friends and families at the holidays,
some of our less fortunate neighbors don’t have that option. That is
where the Holiday Project comes in. Every year, thousands of volunteers
around the country make visits to hospitals and nursing homes, or any place
where people can bring cheer and a smile to someone in need.</span></p>

leaders are working with volunteers, just like you to visit local
facilities. Volunteer Team Co-Leaders Mike Herman and Penny Mendoza
invite you to join us on Christmas Day (December 25 in case you weren’t paying
attention). We have been leading these teams for almost two
decades. We will be going to three facilities, Hillhaven Nursing Home,
Crescent Cities Center (Nursing Home and Rehabilitation Center) and the former Prince
George’s Hospital (now called University of Maryland Prince George’s Hospital
Center). Join us for all visitations or just one.</span></p>

can’t really sing), just a pleasant spirit. Some of us sing while others
just visit with residents, patients and staff. Bring some sleigh bells,
wear something festive, wear your antlers, bring your smile and some good
cheer. Song books will be provided, as well as small gifts to distribute
(generally small stuffed animals). Most of all, remember that YOU ARE THE
GIFT THAT MATTERS!</span></p>

Bring your children (they are especially welcome at the nursing homes).
Call or email Mike or Penny and let us know if you are coming and what facility
you will be going to. Some people come to the first site and have so much
fun that they tag along to the other sites while others may only do one or two.
We always need more people at the hospital because it is a larger facility, but
the more people we have at each location the better we sound and the more personal
visits we get to do.</span></p>

PARTY/GET TOGETHER</span></u></b><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"> - This year we will do
an after party for anyone who joined us for the Prince George’s visits. Team Leader Michael Herman and his girlfriend
Tanya Johnson will host volunteers from these three visits at their home after
the last visit. The soiree will begin at
3:45 p.m. and run until 6:00 p.m. Come
have some eggnog, or other refreshments, sit by the fire, have some sandwiches,
hot food or whatever we have to feed the voice-strained troops. It is a wonderful way to wind down from a
great day of giving. </span></p>
