PRESS RELEASE

A special yearly event sponsored by Golden Bear Cottages resort:
benefits the children of the Greater San Bernardino area. For
details about this year's event held April 19 and 20th. Call
1-800-461-1023 or 909-885-0090. You can sign-up now for the third
annual retreat scheduled for April 26-27
2010!
The purpose
of this annual retreat and welcome party is to bring together
knitters and quilters and also teach new people to learn how to
knit and quilt, so that Santa Claus will have sufficient knitted
sweaters and quilts for babies and children in need. These gifts
are given out at the Santa Claus, Inc. warehouse during an annual
weeklong distribution every year for the past half-century in
December. This distribution dates for 2009 are scheduled for
December 8 through 15. Santa Claus, Inc. has been helping to
provide needy families with Christmas gifts since 1952. It has
served over 395,000 children since it began operation 57 years ago.
It is one of San Bernardino County's oldest and well-respected
charities. Photos of last year's events are shown on this page
and were taken by the ladies attending the event.
In 2008 over two-dozen new volunteers of all ages joined us at
Golden Bear Cottages for the 2-day event. The event grew to twice
the size in 2009. Many knew how to knit or quilt, but all enjoyed
the fellowship while we expanded our circle of volunteers and
produce new items for this great charity. If you want to brush up
your skills or learn to knit from professional knitters, and also
learn to quilt, please call and sign up for next year's annual
event. This charity event is limited to persons willing to knit or
quilt to help this wonderful charity.
Golden Bear Cottages will again sponsor lodging cost for next
year's exciting event. Childcare will be available at a nominal
cost. Space is limited, so please contact us soon. Your only cost
for this charity event will be to pay a small amount (about $25)
for lunch each day and a few basic supplies, so everyone who wants
to come and participate will be able to afford to attend this
wonderful charity retreat to benefit Santa Claus,
Inc. (a registered
California 501(c) 3 non-profit corporation).
You may call Karen DiCarlo at 909-887-4422 for more details.
Please E-mail her about attending the 2010 event at...santaclauspresident@juno.com
You may also sign up at the Santa
Claus, Inc. warehouse at 824 East 6th St. in
San Bernardino on Wednesday mornings from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. The
