Community Claus opens referrals
Send a link to a friend
[NOV.
16, 2006]
MINIER -- The Olympia West Elementary School
and the Minier-Armington Police Department are teaming up once again
with various businesses, individuals, civic groups and area churches
to provide Christmas gifts for needy families in the Minier and
Armington areas. Earlier this year, this cooperative project was
named Community Claus, since so many people in the communities help
with this project by sponsoring families, adopting individuals to
purchase gifts, and collecting toys and other gifts.

The project is looking for submissions of families or individuals
who may be in need during the coming holiday season. Please notify
Minier-Armington Police Chief Daryl Weseloh if you know of such a
situation. All referrals will remain confidential. Referrals for
families in the Hopedale area will be forwarded to the Hopedale
Lions Club. "Please let us know if there are specific needs with
these referrals," Weseloh said, "so that we can help to make this a
happy holiday season."
In years past, the project has received all sorts of referrals,
as well as assistance with purchasing gifts, wrapping packages and
other support for the program. A wrapping day is scheduled for Dec.
19, starting at 1 p.m., at the school cafeteria. Please notify
Weseloh if you can help.
