Bright Futures Scholars Annual Christmas Celebration Christmas began early for the Bright Futures Scholars as they gathered on Saturday, December 3rd at the Altadena Community Center for an event full of activities, games, prizes, food, and a surprise guest appearance. The Bright Futures Scholars Christmas meeting, put together by the Leader- ship Steering Committee and the Pasadena City College Student Work force, consisted of three games and activities with several raffles in between. Prizes included stuffed toys, candy canes, Santa Clause hats, and the grand prize: a flat screen TV. But before any games, activities or raffles took place, there was an announcement to remind us how fortunate we are during these holidays to have food on our table and gifts in our living rooms. Some families, however, are not as fortunate, but the Altadena Sheriff Station Toy Drive will make sure that some 350 families will have a white Christmas this year. Therefore, the Quality of Life Center, Inc. made sure to aid the Sheriff Station by spreading the word that during these holidays, members of our community need us. Following the announcements, the Scholars were separated into groups for the game of charades, during which the teams (pears, bananas, oranges and apples) would compete against one another for an overall team prize. The game was beyond humorous as Scholars acted out Christmas words and phrases such as "Christmas tree", Rudolph the Red-Nose Reindeer" and "Hot Chocolate". The Candy Cane Hunt followed and it involved the Scholars going on the hunt in front of the Community Center to find as many candy canes as possible, some hidden in the bushes, stairs and the oddest of places (hanging from tall trees). The Scholar with the most candy canes would win a special prize. In between the games several gifts were raffled, one which included a flat screen TV. A group photo followed along with a group photo of all the winners of the raffles. With the year coming to an end, the meeting was a great success and allowed the Scholars to end on a grand plateau after having worked very hard throughout the year. It was a chance for them to win prizes, enjoy themselves, receiving words of wisdom, and see each other one last time before the long Christmas break.
