Christmas Buddy Program & Party Recap (Thu, 10 Dec 2009)
The Annual Christmas Program given by the children at the Alice B. Tyler Village on December 5, 2009 was a delight for all. The Children put on a play, Charlie Brown's
Christmas, and the singing and the acting were superb.
I want to thank everyone who braved the snowy roads to make sure all the 65 children had a special buddy for the day. After the program the children received a visit from Santa, who
arrived on a Harley no less, and were able to enjoy a delicious lunch with their Christmas buddy.
The day turned out even more special because our Founders, Sara O'Meara and Yvonne Fedderson, made a special appearance that day to visit with the Chapter members, friends and the
children all the way from Arizona.
SEE THE PHOTO GALLERY FROM THE DAY HERE!
Sincerely,
