More than 60 members of the South Everett-Mukilteo Rotary Club turned out Dec. 10 to help 40 children shop for gifts to give their families, friends and teachers — while also getting a little something for themselves.
The Rotary has provided the holiday shopping spree for over 25 years. This year’s children came from the South Everett-Mukilteo Boys and Girls Club, the Salvation Army, local shelters, schools and churches.
Rotary members raised over $4,000 for the effort, with help from the South Everett Fred Meyer and from Cascade High School students, who wrapped the gifts. Santa also paid a visit.
“It was a great event to help spread some holiday cheer to our community,” said Steve Shea, who led the program for the Rotary.
