On Saturday, 13 December, RTNC1 members came together to spread a little Christmas cheer. The event was the Children's Christmas party at the Alms House, and it is one of the chapter's favorites.
As usual, the starting point was VFW 670. Presents were loaded up and a pot of coffee was shared before heading to the Alms House.
Once again, chapter members came through and provided a pretty good spread for the kids.
Here's a couple of Santa's Helpers getting ready for the kids to arrive.
There was a great turnout for this event. As I said, it is one of our favorite events of the year!
And if there was ever a question as to why we do this, take a look at these two pictures. Who is having more fun?
These three...
...or these two? Just look at those smiles...
Ooh, big time Santa Helper business going on here.

So, you counted these, right? There are supposed to be 30 pizzas. What do you mean there are only 29? I can't believe someone would... Hey, wait a minute.
Where's Whimpy????
Ted Hammond, RTNC1 Chaplain, says grace before lunch.
The pizza is good, but that's not what everyone is waiting for...
Pizza and Santa = a great Saturday afternoon!!
Santa's the Man!
Hey kid, let me check the name on that tag. I think it might be mine.
Merry Christmas everyone!
And thanks again to Beth Koraska for the photos.
