The Christmas Party at our 7th District Police Station on December 16 was a smash. Our Captain was elated at such a beautiful turnout of kids and parents.
There seemed to be about 200 or more people there. There were four tables with a beautiful display of Christmas goodies, cold cuts, punch, and everything to entice you to come back for seconds.
To top it off there was also a band. Needless to say, the kids and some parents went into the latest dance— none other than the “Bump.”
Santa was there; toys and gifts were distributed to the starry eyed kids and everyone there was really having a ball.
It was the nicest Christmas Party I have witnessed in the 7th District. The women on the committee and all their helpers did a beautiful job in getting it “all together.”
