All children who come (and there will be a lot of member's families in town with children as well) will be given a simple costume.

So this Sunday afternoon we will have a marathon session to get things ready. We will put the craft together for next Sat, and make the costumes for Christmas Eve (in the past, they have adopted a needy family, planned and executed a fundraiser, then gone shopping - this year though, all the students are seniors but one - they are really busy with college visits, college apps, etc. These two projects don't require as much time, but will be meaningful for those involved).</span></strong></p><p> </p><p><strong><span style="color: #a0522d">I'm hitting the office this morning for payroll instead of the gym!
