For 12 years now, GUC employees and their families have enjoyed our annual visit from Santa. This year, Santa made a stop by GUC on December 9th. Our GUC children were able to share their wish lists with him and have their pictures taken; and, of course, enjoy milk and cookies!

Santa’s visit is part of Operation Santa Claus, a partnership between the Salvation Army and the Pitt County Department of Social Services that provides donated toys to children who might not otherwise find any gifts under the tree on Christmas morning.  Families brought toys to donate when they came to visit with Santa. We had collection boxes set up throughout our facilities as well for employees and customers to participate in the toy drive.

A big jolly thank you to Lou Norris and Kristen Jarman with the General Manager’s Office for planning the event; Monica Dixon (IT) and Anna Hinton (Customer Relations) for decorating the space; and Kristen, Tracy Hodges (Electric) and Karin Fullington (Public Information) for helping during the event.
