PRESS RELEASE
A special yearly event benefits the children of the Greater San Bernardino area. For details about this year's event Call 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 2010 are scheduled for December 7 through 13. Santa Claus, Inc. has been helping to provide needy families with Christmas gifts since 1952. It has served over 412,000 children since it began operation 57 years ago. It is one of San Bernardino County's oldest and well-respected charities. Photos of the last two 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.
Your only cost for this charity event will be to pay a small amount 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 warehouse phone is 909-885-0090.
