Good Samaritans this Holiday Season
Yesterday was a beautiful, sunny, winter day..perfect to see all the good things going on in our community that we sometimes don’t even know are happening. My friend, Lindsay, with Ryan Homes invited me to the Helping A Hero Groundbreaking for wounded veteran, SGT Drew Mullee, USA (Ret.) and his wife Jennifer, and 1 year old son, Easton. Drew and his family will have a new home in the Kellswater community in Kannapolis. The developer donated the land and Ryan Homes will be building the home for Drew and his family, equipped with custom features to make life for Drew a little easier.
Patriot Charities donated over $100,000 towards the Mullees’ new home as well.
When I got back to the office, I walked in and saw all of the wonderful bags of toys for the Salvation Army Angel Tree. There were several bikes, dolls, clothes and other toys waiting to be picked up and taken to the Christmas Center for parents to pick up later this week. This year, 12,000 children will be served by the Salvation Army in Charlotte, it has been a great tradition for our family and we look forward to next year!

Christmas in Davidson
The countdown is on to Christmas in Davidson! Downtown Davidson turns into a version of the North Pole for three nights this week – December 5th, 6th, and 7th from 6:00 pm-9:00 pm. Santa kicks-off Christmas in Davidson when he arrives on Main Street at 6pm on Thursday!
Main Street is closed while horse-drawn carriage rides transport you from one end to the other, a live nativity scene is in front of Davidson UMC, an ice-skating rink provides wintry fun, many vendors provide great holiday goodies for gifts, and even Santa & Mrs. Claus attend each evening!
While you are shopping, please be sure to check out the decorated trees on the Davidson Green. You can vote for your favorite and help the Davidson Rotary Club raise money for charitable causes.
Christmas in Davidson is a really unique, family-friendly event. Make plans to bring the whole family for hot cocoa, Christmas carols, shopping and telling Santa your wishlist. If your family feels fashionable, make plans to enter the Ugly Holiday Sweater Contest on Saturday!
Downtown Davidson can get very crowded, so be sure to research the best places to park. A trolley is running from near exit 30 to downtown with multiple stops along the way.
