Thank you to all of our little elves who helped Tillman House create a little CHEER at the Annual Hands on Christmas Craft Fair at Smyrna First UMC. Each child made a small gift with a message of hope to share with our Tillman family. This event is always a favorite family & friend event. We are already counting down the days until we get to do it all over again.
