Children’s Christmas Party was a Huge Success
This years Christmas Party was a huge
success, and of course Santa Claus was
the highlight of the party.
The weather wasn’t exactly delightful
as there were clouds and no sun. This did
not deter Santa Claus and he said upon
arrival, that this year He definitely relied
on “Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer” to
get to the Party on time.
Euchre Results……
We are still looking for more
Euchre players. Come on out
for some Tuesday night fun.

Each child had an opportunity to sit
on Santa’s lap to express their wishes for
this year. As they left Santa they each
received a gift.
We all know that parties do not happen
without some Planning, Preparation and of
course Volunteers. The cost of the Party
was shared by the Christmas Party fund
and the LOOM.

Santa did a great job with the children, and for some reason his voice
sounded an awful lot like our Administrator Ed Fitch.
The party started out with Games for
the Children. There was a Pin the ear on
an “Elf” for the older ones, and a pin the
nose on the “Snow Man” for the younger
ones. Also there was a coloring contest of
pictures with Holiday themes. Three
Prizes were given each to the Boys and
Girls with the best coloring on their pictures. There also was a memory game that
some of them joined in on.
A children’s favorite meal of various
kinds of Pizza was served with desert
being Mini Cupcakes. Punch and Soda
was furnished by the Lodge.
Door Prize Winner
