VOLUME 17 • DECEMBER 2024 • EDITION 12
We are trying to spread Christmas cheer — one ornament at a time. While visiting the Center, you can take a look at our beautiful ornaments hanging from the ceiling in the Big Room! We also have several themed trees spread throughout the Center! We also have a tree decorated at the mall this year for the Festival of Trees: a Sweet Gingerbread theme! Our elves will wrap gifts for FREE on Dec. 13 from 8 a.m.-3:30 p.m. You provide the gifts and our elves do all of the wrapping work. Gifts can be dropped off to be wrapped or you can stay and chat while we wrap!
We have WONDERFUL staff who work at the Center and transportation, so we want to give them time with their families to celebrate the holidays. The biggest gift of Christmas is time spent with the people we love! We hope you get to spend time with your loved ones as well.
