Fairfax Club Active Over the Holidays
by Ellie Schmidt

The Fairfax club was very busy over the holiday. We shopped for and provided a Thanksgiving food basket for a family and we worked with FACETS and provided holiday food baskets for two families at Christmas. We rang the bell for the Salvation Army at the Safeway at Fairfax Town Center one cold Saturday and for at least the 12th consecutive year; we took a foster family shopping for clothing. We hosted officers from the Westfield High School Key Club at our December 18th meeting. Now the club is focusing on our Annual Pancake Breakfast held in conjunction with the City of Fairfax Chocolate Lover's Festival which will be held on February 2nd at the Fairfax Volunteer Fire Department Station #3 on University Drive in Fairfax. We look forward to a big turnout. Come and interclub with Fairfax!
