Happy Holidays all! We held our Childrens Christmas Party on December 12th. We wanted to thank everyone in the community that contributed to this successful event! We had the best group of grateful, polite and appreciative families who really needed a boost this Christmas season! With the help of the Mantua community, we provided pizza (courtesy of Gionino's in Hiram), dinner of turkey (all turkeys were donated by David Burns), mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans, dinner rolls and desserts. Michelle Yeatts worked her butt off shopping, coordinating the wrapping and making sure all the kids had hats, gloves, coats, outfits and some toys from their custom list! We truly want to thank the following people and businesses for their generous donations: Dave and Dawn Lovick, Mike and Cathy Troyan, Dan Cozzins, AWL Transport, LAC Leasing, Robert Garro, GSV Enterprises, Gloria Vechery, Greystone Concrete, Portage County Warthogs, Chrome Depot, F & S, Lakeside Gravel, Stamm, Oscar Brugmann Sand & Gravel, William Benjamin Trucking, 44 Feed & Supply, Singleton Reels, Sierra, Inc, Tractor Bob, Dan Molick, Laurie McHone, Jill Gullett, Kate Lovick, Morgan Barres, Alex Yeatts, Geoff and Donna Barres (Donna makes sure Santa is jolly every year!) and every other person who donated their time and money! We will be rolling over some money for next year in our Christmas Club account since everyone went above and beyond! Thank you, thank you, thank you and a truly blessed, healthy 2022 to every one of you! (As always, we never post pictures of the children so enjoy the embarrassing picture of Michelle Yeatts, Santa and Lisa!)
