Santa's Workshop

Sun -Tue

6:00 - 8:00pm at OLMC Parish Hall.
  We are looking for teenage helpers!  This exciting program is fun and will bring special meaning to economically deprived children.
We are asking pre-teens and teenagers to help paint, repair, wrap, and tag toys.
If you have a teenage son or daughter, please encourage him/her to join us for whatever length of time possible.  Hopefully, some teenagers will be available to deliver these gifts.
During the month a group of adults will meet to discuss what is needed for Santa's Workshop.  They are enthusiastic and look forward to planning this event.  On Sunday, Dec. 3rd, teenagers will gather to decorate the hall so it will look like Santa's Workshop.  Christmas music and refreshments will add to our festivities.  You too, are more than welcome to join us.
If your children have old toys in good or fairly good condition, please bring them to the Parish Hall, beginning the week of Nov. 13.  We're looking forward to a wonderful Santa's Workshop!
