DARA Holiday Party RSVP

Please use this link   https://www.signupgenius.com/go/9040C4FA8AC2BA02-dara1 to RSVP now for the DARA Holiday Party taking place on December 2, 2022, in the Assembly Building at the Greene County Expo Center, 120 Fairgrounds Road, Xenia Ohio. Starting time is 6:00pm. Members and their families are invited. Please respond quickly so we can reserve tables and food and guarantee gifts for the kids. We will be serving the traditional Marion’s Pizza with side salad. We will supply the drinks. Please bring a desert to share. Michael Kalter will keep us entertained with music for the evening. Linda Kalter will be organizing the youth area with crafts and games. Melissa Markland will be decorating the tables. Of course, Santa will be stopping by for a visit. There will be a gift drawing for radios and gift cards.

Radio Santa will not be attending Children’s Hospital this year due to an unusually large number of patients with respiratory illnesses and most are in isolation. The hospital did say they would gladly accept gifts for the kids if we would like to donate toys. They would accept coloring books and crayons, matchbox cars, Lego sets, play dough, infant toys, card games and small teddy bears. The main stipulation is that they need to be new. We will be collecting the toys at the Holiday Party for Children’s Hospital and transporting them to the hospital. Please bring a toy to help brighten up a child’s Christmas.

If any problems or questions email or call Ron Cramer.
