Operation
Santa Claus
To
Our Friends at Penn:
The plans for this years 15th Annual "Operation Santa
Claus" are underway. The party is held for the young and Senior
Citizens. The Sheraton Hotel is again generously hosting the festivities;
hotel management will be providing their beautiful ballroom and
a lovely meal for the guests who are from The Penn Center for Rehabilitation
& Care (Ralston House), Temple Universitys Continuing
Care Program for Seniors as well as St. Marys Villa for abused
& neglected children and the Delta School. Gifts will also be
collected and distributed to St. Vincents MotherBaby
Residence.
Our
senior citizen friends & the children will be treated to a holiday
luncheon, gifts from Santa, and surprise entertainment, on Thursday,
December 19.
Last
years party was an overwhelming success, 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 Peoples
Emergency Center and St. Vincents.
We
are in need of gifts as well as monetary donations to cover the
cost of the party. Monetary donations are extremely appreciated
and are used to cover the cost of transportation, entertainment
and additional gifts that are 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/Facilities can also contact George
Reale.
We will be
supplied lists of children and senior citizens attending the party;
we would really appreciate your call if you would like to purchase
a gift more personally. I will give you the name of a senior or
youngster, and their gift wish. You can then shop for that person
and wrap your gift addressed to them from Santa and then bring it
to 212 Franklin. Or, choose from the suggestions below, wrap it,
& place a tag on the outside with what the item is, whether
for a man or woman, girl or boy and the size if applicable. Please
contact us & let us know if you are interested in participating
so we can be sure that all the guests 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 help again. Please help make
this another successful holiday project full of joy and giving for
children and elderly less fortunate.
Please
bring all gifts and donations to Yvonne in Suite 212 Franklin
Building no later than Wednesday, December 18.
