A Christmas Carol

Thirteen of us girls braved the cold to attend A Christmas Carol at Chicago Street Theatre in Valparaiso on December 18. We were greeted with appetizers when we arrived at the theatre lobby and had an opportunity to socialize. Then, we were guided on a tour of the theatre, from the tech booth to the wardrobe room. And did you know they have a room of doors???

After the tour, we made our way to the theatre and got ready for the show! It was a great performance followed by a talk with the actors. And...the weather held out for us! No snow until after midnight.

Salvation Army Angel Tree Help

One of our Girls Just Wanna Have Fun members, Judy Back, has requested help with sorting and packing the Angel Tree gifts on Saturday, December 13 for the 815 children (so far) who are part of The Salvation Army of Porter County Christmas.

This involves checking all the presents and making sure each child in each family has gifts and when it is complete, then the gifts are bagged and tagged.

The day starts at 8 a.m. with coffee and doughnuts and then get to work. Usually there are sufficient people that we are done no later than 1 p.m.

Angel Tree Headquarters is located at 1361 Morthland (Hwy. 30) in Valpo. It's west of the Harley Davidson dealership and under the same roof as the License Bureau. Just look for the Angels painted on the windows.

Please let Ella (etaylor@pnc.edu or 219-785-5531) or Liz (edepew@pnc.edu or 219-785-5239) know if you would like to help out.
