Rotary Club of Moraga filled approximately 350 Christmas stockings Dec. 17 which were given on Christmas Day to children incarcerated in county juvenile hall. Treats in the stockings included a deck of cards, a pair of socks, puzzle books, candies, shampoos, soaps, and cosmetics. This year, the cosmetic sets were arranged by Rotarian Bill Phelps, general manager of Aegis. Many Moraga Country Club residents donated their leftover Halloween candy. In addition, Joan Bruzzone donated funds to provide 100 dozen cookies as refreshments to the children while they received their gifts. These stockings are often the only Christmas gifts these children receive.
Rotary Club of Moraga has conducted this Christmas stocking project for more than a decade. In recent years, the Interact Club at Campolindo High School and the Rotaract Club at Saint Mary's College have worked to stuff the gifts into the stockings, which were cut and sewn by Moraga Rotarians, spouses, and friends. Girls at the juvenile hall participated in the decorating of the stockings, so each stocking was unique. This year's project was led by Moraga Rotarians Barbara Bruner and Debbie Roessler.
Rotary Club of Moraga is a local service club within Rotary International that meets at noon most Tuesdays at Saint Mary's College. For information about participating, please call Frank May of Moraga Rotary at (925) 376-8195.
