The talent of these children was indeed superb. Our many thanks to Rosemary Popovich for bringing all this talent to our Christmas party.

Shelly Kennan and Andrea Duruttya (standing) two of Santa's helpers explaining to the parents of the smaller tykes how the game is played. It was a joy to sec the enjoyment the children were having playing and winning prizes. After the last game and prizes were given out, all of a sudden the children heard loud laughter, “Ho- Ho-Ho”!
