Sunset Lions Annual TYC
New Year's Eve Pizza Party
The Sunset Lions Annual New
Year’s Eve Pizza Party for the kids at Corsicana’s Texas Youth
Correction’s facility was the largest to date. Hot pizza and soft
drinks are a rare treat for these kids. Many service clubs and other
organizations hold parties during this holiday season but are usually
limited to one cottage. After Christmas, the glow of celebration begins
to fade at the facility. We understand this annual party serves as a
cushion to soften the end of the holiday season. Local merchants Domino’s
Pizza and Brookshire’s once again helped the Sunset Lions with
the event to provide 130 pizzas and 70 two-liter bottles of soft drinks.
Without their assistance, the party would have been very difficult to
accomplish.
A stack of 130 pizzas stands
over 23 feet in height and weighs 335 pounds and took one hour and ten
minutes to prepare. However, after delivery was made, it took the kids
about ten minutes to dispose of the pizzas. The soft drinks totaled
almost 37 gallons. Consumption of this quantity took a little longer.
Our local merchants are repeatedly
asked for contributions or discounts for worthy causes and, somehow,
help is usually offered. The Sunset Lions appreciate Domino’s and
Brookshire’s community spirit. Without their support, events like
this would rarely occur.
