Greg has been

with GCCLC from

the beginning. He

moved in over 33

years ago.

Before she died,

Greg’s mother was

one of our most

ardent supporters

and not only made

his Christmas

special, but took

others home with

her and Greg.

She also bought

things like big

TVs and a

basketball court

for the group

home for all to

enjoy.

Greg now spends

Christmas with

us……..

Greg loves to play

cards, watch

sports and other

TV programs.

Asked at

Thanksgiving

what he was most

thankful for, Greg

said, without a

moment of hesita-

tion, “Sports.”

Please give

generously so

Greg, and other

GCCLC family

members, will

have a special

Merry

Christmas this

year!

Banquet.

Message from Cathy Cash, CEO

“You are not alone.”

“You are loved and

cherished.”

“We care!” Those are the

messages you send

when you help

sponsor a client at

GCCLC for

Christmas.

Too often,

society’s most

vulnerable

members are

forgotten. They are

left alone to find their

way through life

because family

members are

themselves struggling

or have all passed

away.

Won’t you consider

becoming family to

the family-less by

sponsoring one

client at Christmas-

time this year?

we have grown, it is more and

more difficult to find this

amount for each of our 55

clients.

Photography Studios has

adopted GCCLC and will

provide stockings for each

person. Sonic Drive-Ins have

Their lives are valuable. Our clients perform

meaningful jobs for our

community - they feel a sense

of belonging and purpose

through their work and their

home. Many have hobbies,

attend church and enjoy the

same activities you enjoy by

going out to eat, going to the

movies and going shopping.

What’s more, they shop

locally and spend their money

locally!

GCCLC provides a

Christmas gift (a coat, new

bedding or a jacket) $40-$60

agreed to give a $5 Sonic gift

card for each stocking. Won’t

you join them in making

this a Christmas to

remember?

Through your tax-

deductible donation of $40-

$60(though any amount

would be appreciated), YOU

and Santa can make this an

extra-special Christmas for

one of our clients like Greg.

Thank you for helping

spread the holiday cheer and

making Christmas merry for

our clients. We have included

a return envelope for your

convenience.
