December 11, 2025 - The December 4, 2025 program of the Woman's Reading Club was given by two wonderful community service organizations. Amy Lindley and Charlene Jackson of the Center Police Department represented Operation Blue Santa. Joanna Lopez, Amanda Radney, and Bailey Cockrell with F. L. Moffet Primary School represented Cookies & Cocoa.
Operation Blue Santa started in 2015 when Center Police Department officers decided to start providing toys for kids in the community. A free event is held each Christmas season for kids and families, where toys, books, and other donated items are distributed. F. L. Moffett will host their 5th annual Cookies & Cocoa event December 13, 2025 from 9:30 to 11:30 at Portacool Park. Kids of all ages will enjoy hot cocoa, tasty cookies, face painting, a bouncy house and more. Each child will leave with a good book!
After the programs, the reading club donated children's books to these outstanding programs.
