The 2010 Outreach endeavor brought a newly re-written "A Carnival Christmas for Mrs. Claus" to the families in Carpenter's Shelter in Alexandria, the largest family shelter in the region. Thanks to the generosity of donors, and fabulous volunteers, we were able to bring a wide array of prizes for the guests to win while playing the carnival games. In keeping with our "healthy eating and exercise" theme Santa distributed festively wrapped fresh fruit from his pack.
