Letters to Santa… This year Santa is
asking that parents help their children write a
letter to him.  Please include the childs name,
age, and if he has been naughty or nice! All
letters need to be in by
Nov. 20, 03 Santa
plans on having all letters answered and
brought to the Christmas party.  These letters
would be a great addition to your Childs
LIFE BOOK!

Submit children's letter to Santa’s
Helper 55 Clingstone Circle, Newnan
Ga. 30265.

He is also asking for volunteers to help
answer the mail. If you are interested in being
Santa’s little helper please contact Danna
Keith@ 770-304-9010.

Be as creative as possible, tell the kids about
the weather and how toy making is going and
all the games the reindeer have been playing
etc…
The parade will start @ the corner of
Temple and Jackson Streets @ 3:30
pm and end over by Newnan High
School.

The Foster Parents Association will
be participating in this event. Our goal
is to raise public awareness about
the counties need for more foster
parents and local support. We hope
that the association will grow in both
numbers and strength so we can all
pool our resources to better help the
children of our county.  

We need approximately 6 volunteers
to walk in the parade holding a
banner and passing out flyers.

So please show your support by
calling Lani Benefield @ XXXXXX
and let her know what you can do.
