In this season of giving Take Stock in Children of Nassau, Inc. would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the many organizations and individuals who have supported us during 2018. Your generous gifts of your personal resources and time have helped us keep the promise of mentors, scholarships and hope to more than 557 students in the past 22 years.

We would like to share a wonderful story with everyone this holiday season. When the Cookie Tour took a hiatus this year the Amelia Island Bed and Breakfast Association generously offered discounted room packages to benefit Take Stock in Children. A couple of days ago the Association honored us with a donation that will help another promising low-income achieve the dream of a college scholarship and a brighter future. This donation comes with a special story of three inn owners who give every year to our community and help keep the spirit of the holidays alive in their historic homes.

Theresa and Bill Hamilton at the Fairbanks House have been leaders in the B&B community for more than 20 years. Chris and Marie Page bought the Williams House four years ago immediately got on board to give back to the community. Lisa and Ron West have only been here a year at the Addison House but reached out to make sure there was a holiday gift to give to the community. Lisa’s connection to Take Stock began in Sarasota where she mentored a child who now attends Duke University. When she and her husband moved to Fernandina Beach, she looked for Take Stock. She now mentors the daughter of one of the staff members at the Fairbanks House. These individuals have a special place in the Take Stock in Children family of giving and caring.

With only a few days left in 2018 you too can join our family of giving and caring by visiting our website at www. takestocknassau.org or by calling 904-548-4464. Weather you become a mentor or a sponsor, give a gift or join us at our annual Light Up a Life celebration on March 28th, 2019 at Ritz Carlton, Amelia Island you too can make a difference in the life of a child.
