Merry Christmas
By Anonymous — Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009
The police storefront held Tuesday, December 21st, was a huge success again this year. Santa Claus was kind enough to come by and bring lots of toys and joy to the little ones. Shown on Santa’s lap are cousins Anthony Magana and Saul Magana doing their best Santa imitations. 1,100 coats and toys were handed out to 1,439 kids from 358 families. The Fillmore Fire Department gave out 60 turkeys. Each child who sat on Santa’s lap received a free Polaroid of the moment along with a candy cane. Happy faces and joyful hearts is what the Storefront Christmas program is all about. A look like this is the reason the Police Storefront Christmas program is so important. Santa is a popular guy with the pre-teen crowd too! Everyone had their picture taken with Santa and received a candy cane. A lot of kids received presents at the Police Storefront Christmas party, Monday, December 21st. Fire Chief Rigo Landeros was on top of things, handing out 60 turkeys donated by the department. Not so-secret-Santa Linda Miller (not pictured) donated gifts for every child at San Cayetano Elementary again this year. Miller heads the Support the Kids Foundation. The smile says it all, at the San Cayetano gift giveaway. Two San Cayetano students excited about their presents. Santa visited Santa Barbara Bank & Trust early in the week and Sespe Elementary students got to color a picture of him while sucking on candy canes. Everyone got to sit on Santa's lap. They also received a free candy cane. Santa having just as much fun as the kids. |
