Operation
Santa Claus
To
Our Friends at Penn:
We have started working on the details for this year's 14th Annual
"Operation Santa Claus" for the young and Senior Citizens.
This year's party is again generously being hosted by the Sheraton
Hotel. Management at the Hotel will be providing their beautiful
ballroom and a lovely meal for the guests. We will again entertain
the residents of three West Philadelphia Nursing Homes: The Penn
Center for Rehabilitation & Care, Mercy Douglas, & Belmont/Parkside
Gereatric Ctr., as well as St. Mary's Villa for abused and neglected
Children. Gifts will also be collected and distributed at St.
Vincent's Mother --Baby Residence.
Our
senior citizen friends & the children will again be treated
to a holiday luncheon & gifts from Santa, as well as surprise
entertainment, on Wednesday, December 19.
Last year's party was an overwhelming success, again over 800
gifts were donated along with monetary donations to pay for the
party expenses. The gifts were distributed to all the guests in
attendance, as well as enough to be sent back to the children
and elderly not well enough to attend. Gifts were also delivered
to families at the People's Emergency Center and Trevor's Place.
We're
asking for your help again. We are in need of 600+ gifts and monetary
donations to cover the cost of the party. Monetary donations are
extremely appreciated. This is used to cover the cost of transportation,
entertainment and additional gifts that are always needed.
If you would like further information, please feel free to visit
Yvonne in Suite 212 Franklin Building or call me at (215) 898-7234
or (215) 898-4210. Those in Physical Plant can contact George
Reale.
Below
are some gift suggestions. Simply choose something off the list,
wrap it, & place a label/tag on the outside marked with what
the item is, whether for a man or woman, girl or boy and the size
if applicable. If you would like to purchase a gift for someone
more personally, please give me a call & I will assign you
a guest to buy a gift for. Please contact us & let us know
if you are interested in participating so we can be sure that
all the children and senior citizens attending will receive a
gift.
There
has always been a lot of interest from our staff and friends around
campus. We are hoping that you will again be able to help. Please
help make this another successful holiday project full of joy
and giving for children and elderly.
Please
Bring All Gifts and Donations To Yvonne in Suite 212 Franklin
Bldg. No later Than Monday, December 17.
