UAW Local 897 2009 Children’s Christmas Party
2009 Children’s Christmas Party
The Children’s Christmas Party was held on Sunday December 13, 2009 at the VFW 898 Post in Lackawanna. The atmosphere was engulfed in the Christmas spirit as we awoke to a snowy morning. The committee entertained a lively crowd of 289 children and adults. The children were entertained by a magician, face painters, karaoke, cookie and ornament decorating, and of course the big guy Santa Claus.
The children couldn’t wait to sit on Santa’s lap and tell him what they wanted to open Christmas morning. Not only were the children able to tell him for themselves they were able to write a letter with their entire list and then mail it to the North Pole.
As usual the treats were outstanding. The attendees munched on doughnuts, cookies, candy canes, apple cider, coffee, and soft drinks. If they weren’t revved up after that nothing will get their motors running. Upon departure the children left with their arms full of goodies, their faces smiling, and their bellies aching.
The Recreation Committee wishes every one a safe and joyous holiday season. To all the volunteers thank you so much for your help, without you this event couldn’t happen.
