Shawnee Twp, OH (WLIO) - For nearly a century, the Lima Rotary Club has helped local children have a special day just for them. Their annual Special Needs Christmas Party continues their century-long tradition to help kids with disabilities. Over 30 kids, ages 5 to 14 years old, were invited to the party. This year businesses, clubs, and community members sponsored each of the kids and got them a present that they have been wishing for. During the party, the Bath Interact Club helped with some activities like face painting and balloon animals. The party is something that the kids and the organizers look forward to each year.
“It feels great,” says Demi Burden of the Lima Rotary Club. “This is one of my favorite days of the year. It really puts you in the Christmas spirit to be around the kids and see their smiling faces. See them get the gifts they wanted all year, and it really feels good.”
Burden says if anyone would like to help sponsor kids for future Christmas Parties reach out to the Lima Rotary Club.
