Annie Christmas Party Held For Foster Children

  • Sunday, December 21, 2014
The Carmike Theater at Bradley Square Mall in Cleveland had an Annie Christmas party for foster children and their foster  parents at the Public Library in Chattanooga. The theater has adopted the Foster parent program as a community outreach program. Four county foster programs were invited to the library for the event - Hamilton County, Bradley, McMinn and Polk.
The youngster and their parents were treated to pizza from Little Caesar, drinks from the Coca-Cola  company, and M&Ms from the M&M/Mars company.
Gifts from the Read 20 program, McDonalds and Steak and Shake were distributed to the children along with needed school supplies for the older ones.
 
The real treat was a visit from Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus. Some children were hesitant about getting near him but most were happy to tell him their Christmas list. The Steak and Shake milk shake tried the hula hoops but decided it was more fun to visit with the children.
 
This is the second event that Carmike Bradley Square 12  has held for the foster program. Susan Henderson, assistant manager for the theater and co-ordinator of the program, said that it is hard work but very satisfying.
