Violin Concert
On Tuesday the Center enjoyed a violin concert by Michelle Turner and her grandmother Laura Hawkins. Michelle is a friend of Laura Hedgecock, one of our staff. These lovely ladies were gracious enough to come and share their talents with us. The staff and students alike were blessed by Michelle and Laura's selections of carols and seasonal music.
Thank you so much for coming. The pictures below tell the story:

Center Christmas Party
Well, the Center has been enjoying the Christmas season for a couple of weeks now. However, today was the day they were all looking forward to. Karen Tucker of Karen Tucker Catering provided cake, cookies, chips, sandwiches, and punch for all of us. She is so thoughtful that she even made a yummy sugar free cake for the diabetics that we have attending the Center. Karen's group also provided gifts for each student that Santa passed out to everyone's delight.
Maddie Allen, 11 year old daughter of Josh and Mo Allen, played Christmas Carols for us during the party. She also blessed our hearts with her sweet voice during a solo performance. Even Santa was impressed with this young lady's talents and told her so when he gave her a gift.
Our students were so glad to see Santa that they nearly knocked him over when he came in ringing his bells and shouting, "HO, HO, HO!" It's a good thing Santa is a big fella. He called each student by name and checked his list for those that were good or bad. Not that a Smith Center student could possibly be on his bad list, surely not.
I know all the staff and students thoroughly enjoyed this special event and our Christmas celebrations here at the Smith Center. We wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Residential Christmas Party
On Tuesday night, December 21st, the Residential Program was treated to supper and a couple dressed in red. Sgt. Jeremy Edwards of the Army National Guard at Fort Taylor Hardin in Montgomery, along with others in his office provided two generous gifts for each of the residents in our group home program. Santa and Mrs. Santa dropped by, even though this is their busiest time of year, to spend some time with our folks. Several of our resident's parents were able to attend the party as well. We want to thank all those who went out of their way to brighten the hearts of our residents. You truly blessed us with your thoughtfulness.
