Club now taking nominations for its adopt-a-family program

[speed]

The Caloosahatchee Chapter of ABATE of Florida Motorcycle Club is gearing up its adopt-a-family program for the holidays.

The club is again accepting nominations for the program, where eight families are selected to receive food and gifts during the holidays.

Though Christmas is still more than three months away, it takes a while for the organization to sort through the nominations, especially now as the economy has most families reeling.

Chapter president Roy Steel said a 10-person committee selects the families based on their financial situation.

"We're looking for the neediest of the needy," he said. "We start early because it takes a while to sort through this stuff because we want to make sure the families are in need."

The Caloosahatchee Chapter of ABATE has been helping families in this manner for the 15 years.
