Suzanne Turpin of Mahan & Nash Public Relations sends us this holiday cheer story:

Every holiday season members of Junior Circle visit the boys who live at Hathaway-Sycamores’ Child and Family Services’ residential treatment center in Altadena, and lead them in Christmas carols. This year a group of 11 women caroled with the boys, ages 9-18, brought homemade cookies, and presented each boy with a wrapped holiday gift, courtesy of Pasadena-based eHobbies.com. This caroling activity is a long-standing tradition of Junior Circle and Hathaway-Sycamores.  The Junior Circle members, who live in Pasadena, Altadena and South Pasadena, visit the boys all year long, and bring each boy a birthday cake, and plan special activities such as race-car nights, marshmallow structure building and bingo.  Hathaway-Sycamores’ residential treatment center is a therapeutic home away from home where abused, abandoned and troubled boys receive nurturing, healing therapeutic mental health services.
