Bisbee Rotary Club Christmas in Naco 2005

Can you imagine waking up on Christmas morning and finding out that “Santa” forgot to come?
No Christmas warmth, food, toys… not even a blanket?

Neither could we. That’s why seven years ago the Bisbee Rotary Club decided it should help ”Santa” at the US/Mexican border located at Naco, Arizona. Each year, the Bisbee Rotary asks individuals, businesses, and organizations to assist in providing much needed food, clothing, blankets, and toys to the poorer residents of Naco, Sonora, northern Mexico. Christmas morning, members of the Bisbee Rotary Club take time to meet at the Naco Port of Entry to share in the spirit of giving with our neighbors just across the border. When the club started this, we helped approximately 30 people. Last year it was closer to 400. The poverty is severe; the need great. Please help.

We are asking you to partner with us on this year’s Christmas in Naco. Please consider a donation to this worthwhile community service effort to help our neighbors just across the line. Donations can come in many forms:

1. Monetary donations;
2. Gift certificates;
3. The means to purchase wholesale, allowing us to purchase so much more with the money we raise; or
4. In-kind contributions of basic food stuffs, blankets, clothing, and toys.

Thank you for your time and consideration of assistance with this compassionate Bisbee Rotary Club project. If you have any further questions or need more information, please feel free to call me, Carrie Gustavson, at 432-7071 or contact me by email at carrie@bisbeemuseum.org. We also invite you to join us at the Naco Port of Entry, 8:30 Christmas morning. Spending an hour or so helping these families renders the spirit of holiday giving to its truest interpretation with heartfelt warmth.

Christmas in Naco is over for this year. Please keep our project in mind for next Christmas.
