Grand Bahama Children's Home Christmas Wish List
Our goal each year is to fill our local orphans' stockings with a little
something that SANTA brought - from their list, at least one. The joy it brings
them is immense and the realization that SANTA has heard them is
tremendous. Help keep our children safe, clothed, fed and sometimes just like
every kid in the world. You can view the list at:

Carols by the Sea: Eat, Drink and Be Merry! (Sunday, December 21st 2008, 4–9
p.m)
The Rotary Club of Lucaya is hosting its second annual Carols by the Sea,
which last year was truly a resounding success. The event will take place at The
Ritz by Taino Beach Resort. The event is being organized to address the need for
families to gather in the spirit of Christmas. We want families to come out,
sing carols, eat, drink and be merry. As the holidays approach we want to help
people get in the mood for Christmas and nothing does that better than singing
carols around the fireplace - and here in The Bahamas a bonfire on the beach is
just as good. Rotarian Joe Ret will hand roast his famous pig for all to enjoy.
There will be hamburgers, hot dogs and popcorn for the children. The Rotary Club
of Lucaya Choir will be entertaining you, there will also be an open microphone,
and song books will be distributed for those persons who want to sing along.
Santa Claus will pay a special visit to sing and dance with the children.
Tickets are $12 for adults and $6 for children and can be purchased from Bell
Channel Inn (373-1053), The Cutting Garden (374-5600) or any member of the
Rotary Club of Lucaya.
