UPDATE 1-5-10
On
Tuesday, December 1st, Scots For Tots was invited
to participate in their second joint holiday venture with Mitzi
MacDonald's Keltic Reign for the annual Christmas in the Kitchen
Concert. Prior to the show and during intermission, Scots For Tots
hosted
a Silent Auction table along with hors d oeuvres. The music was
sensational and every toe was tapping and hand was clapping to the
energetic
traditional celtic music. The Sheldon concert hall was filled with an
energetic, generous audience. As the folks found their way to their
seats, they made a trip to the Christmas tree next to the stage
to donate a new toy for the Missouri Baptist Children's home or
a food item for the Food Bank.
Keltic
Reign rang in the Christmas season cheer as they invited patrons to
visit the "Kitchen table" to partake in holiday cookies and
a soothing Scottish Tea provided by Traveling Tea as they
performed. After the intermission, everyone returned to
their seats eagerly awaiting to see if they had won the items that
they bid on as Scots For Tots President, Ian Good announced the
winners. Ian was joined on stage by Scots For Tots Vice
President, Ally Nisbet, and Secretary/Treasurer Bill Smythe.
Along with the Scots For Tots members on stage was a representative from
the Missouri Baptist Children's Home. They all thanked the crowd for
their warm hearted gifts to the home and expressed how each toy will
make
a big difference in a child's Christmas morning.
When
the evening concluded, there were enough toys boxed up to fill the back
of
a large pick up truck, as well as over $480 from the Silent Auction
proceeds to be delivered to the Missouri Baptist Children's
Home. The members of Scots For Tots along with Mitzi MacDonald
showed up to Missouri Baptist Children's Home to deliver the toys and
money the week before Christmas. The Campus administrator
explained how our efforts were going to help several hundred children
and their
families this Christmas season.
We look forward to participating again in the
annual Christmas in the Kitchen concert in December 2010. We will see
you all there. Click here to see pictures from the event.
