Gingerbread Express steams to the North Pole

Gingerbread Express project coordinator Pat Francois stands with other staff members behind a towering pile of wrapped gifts.

The National Education Association-Rhode Island Gingerbread Express project was a huge success at CCRI this year. CCRI employees contributed gift donations to brighten Christmas for 110 needy children, and an additional $700 in cash to supplement the purchase of more gifts by NEA-RI. Pictured above are project coordinator Pat Francois (center) flanked by her "elves": (L-R) Gloria Nolette, Kyle Stelljes, Bob Santos and Sue Bergheimer.
