Christmas Time “Friendraiser”

Staff members of CIS Wilkes, alongside our Alexander County employees, enjoyed a great time getting to know the Alexander County community on Saturday, December 15th.

Hosted in the lobby of the Central Alexander High School auditorium and immediately following the school’s production of “Yes, Virginia,” CIS and attendees enjoyed punch and fresh-baked cookies alongside two very special guests.  Who might they be? Why, Mr. and Mrs. Claus, of course!


All were welcome to enjoy the refreshments, while 5x7  prints with the Big Guy in Red (and his lady!) were offered in exchange for a $5.00 donation to Communities In School.  In total, $165.00 was raised.




“Meeting and interacting with parents and students allows people to get to know CIS as an organization, as well as see that we are serious about serving in Alexander County,” remarked Glendora Yarbrough when questioned about the event, “I look forward to and welcome more opportunities within the community in the future.”
