Forty-Eight 1st and 2nd grade children gathered at Skechers in Gardena to receive school shoes and supplies. The children were from The Boys and Girls Club of Harbor City and the Volunteers of America. The Kiwanis of Rolling Hills Estates has teamed with Skechers for the last three years in support of the underserved children in our community.
Key Club members from Peninsula and Palos Verdes High School supported the program by helping the children select their shoes. After selecting their shoes and a backpack, with the school supplies, the children gathered in the patio for snacks and dancing.
On a somber note a memorial plaque was presented to Karen, Fred Held’s wife, to recognize Fred’s support of the club and Project Shoe. Fred recently passed away.

The annual children’s Christmas party was held on December 10th at the Boy’s and Girl’s Club in Harbor City. Fifty children from the Boy’s and Girl’s Club, and from Volunteers of America participated in the event.
The children started off the party with coloring in pictures with crayons on a canvas. After completing the project the children had lunch of chicken and pizza.
After lunch the children gathered around and waited for Santa Claus to arrive. The children welcomed Santa as he came in from the North Pole. Each child was able to meet with Santa and receive a Christmas present.
After all the children received their presents they opened them as a group. On leaving they also received a project that they could complete at home.
What a great way to start the holiday season, making children happy.
