The 37th Annual Bob Telmosse Christmas Giveaway was held on Saturday, December 21, 2019 from 9am-3pm. The weather was unusually warm for late December, so we expected a higher-than-normal turnout. However, that was not the case. We did have about 2,500 attendees and all 600 bags of food were distributed, but that is about 1,000 less than our average year. We learned later that there were other events being held at the same time. Also, there were many folks who did not hear about our giveaway until after the event. They relied on social media for information, and we had only utilized our Facebook page for electronic marketing. We did have notices in print and announcements on some radio and television stations. The lower turnout did result in enabling most of the children in attendance to receive a bike.
There were dozens of people behind the scenes who volunteered their time and effort to bring this event to fruition. From everyone who co-ordinated an event that benefited this giveaway, to folks who transported donated items, to logistics personnel who helped pull this all together and many others who made this annual event possible, we are greatly indebted. There is no way an event of this magnitude could be accomplished without the generous help and support of our community.  Bob’s legacy of helping others continues because so many are willing to step up and contribute to this much needed and appreciated Christmas Giveaway.
