Sacramento, CA (December 9, 2008) — Corps employees from the Sacramento District, in addition to volunteers from other organizations, hosted the 19th Annual Children’s Christmas Party at the Sacramento Grand Ballroom on December 9, 2008.
The annual Children’s Christmas Party was started in 1990 when a group of volunteers from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers decided to take some time off from work and do something to give back to the community during the holiday season. This group of volunteers recruited some of their friends and they decided to donate their personal time and effort to provide a Christmas celebration that these Sacramento families’ likely wouldn’t be able to experience without the support and dedication otherwise.
