On Christmas Eve, 170 gift-filled and decorated stockings prepared and contributed by Rotary Club of Moraga were distributed to children confined at the county juvenile hall. The stockings were filled with presents such as candy, a pair of socks, a deck of cards, puzzle books, soaps, shampoos and other cosmetics.
This is the 19th year that Moraga Rotary has provided these stockings, which were cut and sewn by Moraga Rotarians, spouses and friends, and girls at Juvenile Hall participated in the decorating of the stockings with original designs in glitter glue. In previous years, Rotary provided about 280-300 stockings each year, but was pleased to find that fewer children are confined this year.
Rotary Club of Moraga is a local service club within Rotary International, one of about 33,000 Rotary Clubs in about 200 countries. Regular meetings are held on most Tuesdays at the Soda Center at Saint Mary's College. For information, call Frank May at (925) 376-8195, or check out moragarotary.org.
