What a wonderful Christmas present!
This year’s Christmas Happiness fund topped out at $62,787.74.
That’s nudging $4,630 more than was contributed during the 2000 drive.
A good chunk of money that, we can assure you, is making a whole lot of needy children in Rowan County happy this morning.
So, thanks to all of you who opened your hearts and your wallets once again.
Merry Christmas!
