2002 Christmas In July

Sandy Run Ruritan Club members gathered at the Sandy Run of Calhoun Fire Station on Friday, July 12, 2002 to prepare thirty Christmas in July baskets for the sick and shut-ins in the Sandy Run Community.  Each beautiful red basket contained four types of canned goods, candy, apples, oranges, grapes, bananas, a dishtowel, a dishcloth, and information about Ruritan.  Ruritan members delivered the baskets on Friday evening and Saturday.  This was truly a time when the Ruritan motto of “Fellowship, Goodwill, and Community Service” was quite evident.  Those giving the baskets and those receiving the baskets were truly blessed.  The Christmas in July baskets is an annual project sponsored by the Sandy Run Ruritan Club.

Here are some pictures of the event.
