Want to make your Christmas celebration more memorable? Think a visit from Santa Claus could “merry” up your festivities? If so, The Monroe Area Community Foundation will be selling raffle tickets at our first annual Christmas on the Plaza celebration on December 8, 2007, for a chance to win a visit from Santa Claus. The tickets will be sold at the MACF booth, two chances for $1.

The Santa visit itself is scheduled for Monday, December 17th at 7 p.m.; but Santa says he is flexible on the date and time. During Santa’s visit, your guests will receive a candy cane while sitting on Santa’s lap and telling him what they want for Christmas. If prearranged with Santa, he will also help pass out gifts. You will be able to take as many pictures as you want to preserve this special moment in time. Santa even suggests inviting a few guests along for this memorable event, too.

Contact Santa’s helper, Jim Mann, for any scheduling or other questions you may have concerning Santa’s visit. His number is 424-3976 or 594-6879.

Contact Ron Tubbs, MACF, with questions on the raffle. (513-320-3674).
