DETAILS: We need one member for each child - we have enough pledges for 28 children at the moment. We will meet the children at 9:00am at the Walmart. One member will team up with one child and go shopping. The children will have lists of gift ideas and family members. Around 11:00am we will finish checking out and go to a room set up for the kids to wrap the presents. Walmart is donating a Santa outfit for our use and Santa will be there for the kids to visit with.

LUNCH: We should finish this up around 12 -12:30, at which time the children will return to the center and the Tejas members will go to a restaurant for lunch.

Lunch will be at Schilo's Delicatessen. The split pea soup is excellent, as are the sandwiches & German beers. It is right downtown on the riverwalk:

WHY: To share the spirit of Christmas and the gift of giving with those families who otherswise would not have a Christmas.

NOTE: In order for this event to be successful, we need members to be there and we need the funds to make it work. Anyone willing to donate wrapping material would be greatly appreciated.
