The Lions Club of Tropical Gardens (LCTG) brought season’s greetings and Christmas cheers to employees of the essential services.  Early Boxing Day morning (December 26), club members came out in their numbers to deliver 25 baskets filled with goodies to the staff of the Health Services Authority (Maternity, Pharmacy, Medical, Pediatric, Surgical, Emergency, Security), Chrissie Tomlinson Hospital, Maple House, Middle Road Home, George Town, Bodden Town and West Bay Police Stations, HMP Fairbanks and Northward Prisons, East End Sunrise Cottage (Retirement Home), Immigration Office (Owen Roberts Airport), Pines Retirement Home, Golden Age Home, 911 and George Town, Frank Sound and West Bay Fire Stations.

The delivery of Christmas Baskets has become a tradition for the Lions Club. The idea behind these deliveries is to show appreciation to the workers at all the essential services who oftentimes have to work throughout the holiday period.

Lion Caroline Roberts, Chairperson of the Social Services Committee, stated that many of these workers missed out on having Christmas with their families because they are working so the LCTG want to show that their appreciation and thanks by providing these baskets filled with goodies.
