Dear Editor:
The hustle and bustle of the Christmas Holidays have passed but not my gratitude to all those who made the “Secret Santa” program successful.
Once again, our local businesses and citizens’ generosity of their time and money showed that our community has a big heart for the less fortunate children of our county. We had 597 children sponsored this year.  A heartfelt thank you goes out to all!
“Let us remember that the Christmas heart is a giving heart, a wide open heart that thinks of others first.”
 May you be blessed and keep the “Christmas heart” all year long.
Sincerely,
Rhonda McElveen,
Secret Santa Program
