Christmas Wishes - Paris Schaul, Activity Professional

Its that time of year again!

Good Neighbor Society is

looking forward to the

holiday season and are

excited to announce the 2nd

Annual Christmas Wishes Program kickoff! Although

Christmas may look different than in past years, we

are dedicated to making this holiday season special.

We have asked what they would really like for

Christmas this year and recorded it on a wish ticket.

We are reaching out to our loving community to help

us make these wishes come true! Last year,

community members picked up resident wish list

scrolls off of a Christmas moose. This year, the wish

ticket system will be virtual! If you are interested in

making resident/tenant wishes come true, please email Paris at pschaul@goodneighborsociety.org

or call 563-927-3907 ext. 309. Thank you for your generosity this holiday season!
