An excellent puppet show was presented by Linda Zimmer and two of her assistants—Amaul and the Night Visitors—a wonderful Christmas Story which was thoroughly enjoyed by the children and adults alike. Christmas Carols were sung, ably led by William Markosky, and then with the vigorous singing of “Jingle Bells” Santa appeared with bells ringing and the usual Ho-Ho-Hos. The children sat on Santa’s knee to tell him what they wanted for Christmas and were presented with candy and gifts. All were invited to partake in our delicious Buffet Dinner. After the dinner, door prizes were given to children and adults alike, names being drawn from a box and by each child. President Sabo handed the Santa Claus with Fred Stepkovits III and National President John Sabo.
