229 days and 6 hours Till Christmas |
 The Santa Clothes Club
Christmas is a joyful time for a child... and giving to children is what hundreds of Santa Clothes Club members do during the Christmas season.
Here are some simple facts about this unusual club...
- The Santa Clothes Club was organized in 1946 to provide new clothing for needy grade school children. After 60 years, this need still exists.
- This year, One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) will completely clothe one boy or girl with an outfit from Wal-Mart Super Center, which includes 1 pair of pants, 1 shirt/top, 6 pair underwear, 6 pair socks, shoes, gloves and a Winter hooded coat.. Our goal this year is to raise $250,000 so we can clothe approximately 2,500 needy Tri-State school children.
- The names of the children are obtained through the school systems in Vanderburgh, Warrick, Gibson, Posey in Indiana and Henderson County in Kentucky. The children receive their clothing from mid-October through mid-November so they will have the coats before cold weather.
- Every year, a telethon is aired on NEWS 25 in order to raise funds for the campaign. This year the telethon will be on Sunday, December 9th , beginning at 12:00PM until 6:00PM at Washington Square Mall..
Remember, One Hundred Dollars will outfit One Child...but whatever you give in the envelope will make you a member again in a program that says..."MERRY CHRISTMAS"... in a very special way. Thanks so much!
Sincerely,
Doug Padgett, President
