Heltonville Christmas 2008

CRA Bedford employees (Pete Bridcut, Dan Nelson, George Seng, Matt Downing, Ernie Cornista, Chris Heij, Mark Bernard, Tim Galloway, Jeff Nichols, Shawn Miller, Greg Celso, Chris Miller, Yelena Moskvina, Guy Johnstone, Jim McGuigan, and Katie Kamm) as well as GM Bedford clients, Cheryl Hiatt and Ed Peterson, raised over $1,600 to buy Christmas presents for 23 disadvantaged children and their families from the small community of Heltonville, just outside of Bedford, Indiana.

Toys, hats, mittens, clothing, and winter boots were purchased and all wrapped for the children, whose ages ranged from 10 months to 17 years, to open on Christmas morning.  Enough groceries were bought to provide each family with a full Christmas dinner.  The parents and children were very grateful for the efforts and generosity of the CRA employees.
