As the holiday season approaches St. Louis Christmas Carols Association, a non-profit organization, is again seeking volunteers to carol. To achieve the goal of caroling groups in every part of the city and county, more participation is needed. Caroling groups may sing in neighborhoods, shopping centers, at the Airport, restaurants and private parties during the month of December. The area chairmen will reserve territory and supply sealed canisters for collecting, song sheets and official identification. Money collected by the carolers is distributed to more than sixty metropolitan St. Louis children’s agencies. Last year more than 2,200 groups collected more than $55,000. St. Louis Christmas Carols Association invites carolers to join in giving St. Louis a gift of song to fill the air with the Christmas spirit. For more information call Karen Kelsey, the volunteer chairwoman for the Skinker-DeBaliviere area, at 726-2832.
