Imagine!'s Holiday Gift Giving Program Provided Gifts To More Than 500 People

Yes, it is already February, but we wanted to make sure we thanked all those who worked so hard last November and December to make Imagine!’s Holiday Gift Giving program a success.

Through the generosity, time, effort, and hard work of so many contributors, individuals, and employees, we were able to provide gifts for more than 500 children and adults through Imagine!’s Gift Giving Program for 2011.

Major contributors included:

• Tebo Christmas Party
• Nativity of our Lord Church in Broomfield
• Lockheed Martin/Operation Santa Claus
• RE/MAX of Longmont
• Seagate
• Association for Community Living (ACL)
• King Soopers
• Flatirons Church
• Imagine! Board of Directors
• Imagine! Foundation Board of Directors
• Bal Swan

Thanks to these individuals for helping to coordinate with our major contributors: Dawnna Ankenbrandt, Michelle Conkey, Jayson Cowley, Susan Gabriel, Debbie Garcia, Rebekah Kovarik, Susan LaHoda, Julie Ann Markiewicz, Nicole Newsom, Cheryl Sabo, and Caroline Siegfried.

Thank you to Imagine!’s Service Coordinators and Case Managers for nominating consumers and families, and for delivering gifts to them. Added thanks for everyone who volunteered to help by delivering packages.

A very special thank you to the following employees and family members for all their hard work, generosity, and tireless efforts, once again making this year’s program a success: Larry Bliss, Bruce Gibson, Sharon Headley, Patrick Krause, Marianne Nick, Irene Padilla, So Rosenblum, and Cheryl Sabo.

For many of our consumers and families, these were the only gifts they received and they were very grateful for the help. I’m sure we put smiles on many faces this past December.

Finally, we thank and acknowledge Carol Bliss, the 2012 Imagine! Holiday Gift Giving Program Coordinator, for ensuring the program’s success.
