BROTHERS 2020 GATHERING

With our annual celebration to close out the year, Brothers Of The Shield gathered with a few new members and a new tradition.

This year we welcomed Tank and Jonet to the brotherhood. These brothers go above and beyond for others and have touched so many lives through God's blessings. We are very grateful for their passion and continuous action to improve our community.

We have also started a tradition for "The Big Joe" award as a tribute to our late Big Santa, Joe. Joe had the biggest heart, and did everything he was able to help every person he meets. In honor of Joe's memory and to start off this tradition, it was a privilege to have James as our first honoree.

Although 2020 has been a troublesome year for our country, we are very blessed for this organization and the opportunity we all have to give back.

A New Year’s Prayer

May God make your year a happy one! Not by shielding you from all sorrows and pain, But by strengthening you to bear it, as it comes; Not by making your path easy, But by making you sturdy to travel any path; Not by taking hardships from you, But by taking fear from your heart; Not by granting you unbroken sunshine, But by keeping your face bright, even in the shadows; Not by making your life always pleasant, But by showing you when people and their causes need you most, and by making you anxious to be there to help. God’s love, peace, hope and joy to you for the year ahead.
