The Christian Service Center is blessed and grateful to be the recipient of the $10,000 raised by the Merry Memories Tinsel Trail presented by The Garner C. Tampary Memorial Foundation.  The Christmas trees, located at the Orange Beach Waterfront Park and the Coastal Arts Center, were decorated by sponsors in memory of deceased loved ones.  The Tamparys established the event in memory of their son Garner. The Trail is patterned after similar ones in Tuscaloosa and Huntsville.  This initial year there were 45 trees on the trail with plans to grow participation in the coming years.  Merry Memories Tinsel Trail was a beautiful and touching addition to Christmas in Orange Beach.

CSC greatly appreciates the support for our mission to provide food and emergency aid to less fortunate low income families in Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, and Ft. Morgan.
