December 18, 2021, was another important and fun day as Samuel Warren Hackett Lodge's Brethren and ladies gathered once again with the food and gifts that they so generously donated to help five families have a Christmas that they otherwise may not have had. The families that need help are chosen by Sequoia Elementary School.  Worshipful Jim Achenbach, PM, organizes this event each year.  It is Hackett's way of helping to make a better Christmas meal and some gifts for the children of these families.  The families are always thankful and often emotional.

The volunteers gather and fun begins

Does Worshipful Achenbach really think anyone is listening to his instructions.

Two families' Christmas dinner and gifts for the kids are in here and will soon be with the families.

Here is one more for delivery..

The cars are packed and it's time to get moving.

Really, let's get these deliveries out.

So much fun and it probably does more for us than it does for the families.
We can only hope they have a great Christmas.

Thank you all for your wonderful assistance
and we'll see you next year.

Merry Christmas
