Rockwall Hazardous Recycling Day

Lakeside Ambucs would like to thank the fine people of Rockwall who brought metal to the Rockwall Hazardous Waste Recycling event this past Saturday. It might have meant cleaning out that garage to you, but the metal was donated to Lakeside Ambucs by the wonderful people at New Phoenix Metals.  You helped to generate more than $6511 that will go towards helping those with mobility needs right here in the Rockwall area.

 

The day was made even better by these generous people who helped us reach our goal for the day.  We cannot thank them enough.

2nd Annual Lakeside AMBUCS Santa’s Toy Drive

IMG_3001

What a beautiful day it was to be out delivering presents! Here is just a glimpse of our Lakeside AMBUCS Santas organizing all of the food and gifts and then delivering them to families in the Rockwall community. We have such a great group of individuals who donated not only their time but resources in hopes of bringing a little more holiday cheer to children and their families this Christmas season. Merry Christmas from our AMBUCS family to yours!

Lakeside Santas!

Tomorrow, Saturday December 13th at 8:30 a.m, the Lakeside Santas will be gathering at the BB&T Bank in Rockwall (1675 Laguna Dr.) in preparation to distribute gifts to some very special families in the area. This is a great time to fellowship with other members of Lakeside AMBUCS, but more importantly we are able to provide these families with a little more joy this holiday season. Coffee and a light breakfast will be provided as we sort and organize the gifts for each family. A group lunch will most likely follow after the delivery of all of the presents. So, put on your best AMBUCS regalia, top it off with a furry Santa hat, and join us for this amazing and heartwarming experience!

Lakeside Ambucs Ribbon Cutting!


Cutting

Lakeside Ambucs enjoyed their ribbon cutting ceremony on Thursday.  Hosted by the Rockwall Area Chamber of Commerce, the event was held at BB&T Bank on Laguna Drive and  festivities included great food and great fellowship.

The star of the evening was this young man who received a new Amtryke and increased mobility.  Many of our Amtryke recipients are shy and a bit overwhelmed by the crowd, not Matthew.  He owned the room and really enjoyed his new tryke

Matthew

 

Our thanks go out to BB&T Bank and the Rockwall Chamber of Commerce, who were great hosts and fun to mingle with.  We hope to have a long and fruitful mutual relationship with all of these wonderful people.
