	A Time to Share Our Blessings with Those in Need Almadale Farms Neighbors once again adopted a family through the Big Brothers / Big Sisters Organization (BBBS). I was proud to accept an award from BBBS on behalf of Almadale Farms for their outstanding support of their Christmas Program; it is hanging in the Clubhouse. This is a wonderful organization trying to make a difference in the lives of single parent/guardianship families in the Memphis area by matching mentors/role models with young adults. The Christmas program is something they do on the side because they are constantly presented with families in need. This year, as in years past we were able to deliver to our families and saw first hand how much this act of kindness means.         Click here to see more pictures and read the story of how Almadale Farms, together with BBBS helped make a family's wish come true. This Christmas, we adopted the Loutzenheimer family.  Alex, 11 and 10 year old twins Coriey and Brittany had a wish list for what would make a wonderful Christmas for their whole family.
