Pastor Rick Duncan and a team of thirty volunteers from Hope for Families served a Christmas meal to CCIL residents Sunday, December 21, 2008. The meal was scrumptious and consisted of salad, steak, spiraled ham, mashed potatoes, green beans, macaroni and cheese, corn bread, and cake. An energetic band from Kenosha, Wisconsin invigorated everyone with live music performances. They played a variety of Christmas tunes and opened the microphone to CCIL residents who read poetry and sang their own favorites. The children received gifts that included winter clothing, coloring books and bubbles.“This was a special night for the residents. The kids, especially, had a wonderful time. They lead songs, played games and ended up giving a real gift of youthful happiness back to the volunteers. It was incredible to sit back and witness,” said Chris Wiens, CCIL Volunteer Coordinator.
