                                 2009 MAYORS' CHRISTMAS MOTORCADE

 

In the state of Georgia, there are several thousand citizens living in Georgia’s seven regional mental health and retardation hospitals.  Many of these patients have lived in these hospitals most of their lives and have little, if any, contact with or support from friends or family.

 

Fifty years ago, in 1958, the Georgia Municipal Association and then Governor Ernest Vandiver created the Mayors’ Christmas Motorcade to help these hospital patients celebrate Christmas by providing each with a present.  The staff at the regional hospitals tell us that without the Mayors’ Christmas Motorcade, many patients would go without any type of gift or recognition during the holidays.

 

Our City has started its gift collection campaign and we are asking for your help.  The hospital clients are part of our community, drawn from a region, and we would like to encourage all of you to remember them this holiday season.  If you know of any school, church, business, or civic group who would like to participate in an outstanding holiday community project, please contact Fire Chief Kenneth Collins at 770.964.9934 for further information on how you can get involved, also, click on link below for more details.

 

Union City’s donations will go to the patients of the Georgia Regional Hospital in Atlanta.  Our City would like to demonstrate its caring spirit this holiday season by showing our thoughtfulness and support through generous donations; let’s give “big” together.  The deadline for donations is Tuesday, December 1^st.

 

Let’s not forget those less fortunate during the holiday season.

 

Sincerely,

 

Kenneth B. Collins

Fire Chief
