We had a very nice event this past Thursday. A special thanks to the MCCers who RSVPd or came by because of the article.
We met our goals of raising awareness and having fun. In response to our media, we were contacted by three families in need. They came by to meet Santa and he presented them with warm winter jackets and school supply kits.
The funniest story of the night: Santa Claus (who was frightenedly 'real') was sporting an empty prop pipe to add to his look. One little girl who was standing toward the back said, "Poor Santa. Doesn't he know it's bad to smoke. He shouldnt smoke." I, on the other hand, was grateful he wasn't like a Santa I saw at another event a couple years ago who had a flask in his inside pocket that came tumbling out on a child's lap.
Thanks again for your support of Operation: Kid Equip!
