Letter: Special Christmas for special kids

The true spirit of Christmas was shared by all in attendance at the 59th Annual Children’s Developmental Center Christmas party held Dec. 7 at the Husky Refinery Rec Hall. Over 240 of our current and former students and their families enjoyed fellowship and a visit from Santa and Mrs. Claus.

We would like to express gratitude to Husky Lima Refinery Action Club and RMF Nooter for sponsoring this year’s event. Monetary donations were received from Husky Lima Refinery Action Club, RMF Nooter, Degen Excavating Company, Inc., Ineos Nitriles USA LLC, Jeffers Crane Service, Inc., Lima Building Trades, Operative Plasterers & Cement Masons International Associate Local 886, PCS Administration (USA), Inc., Peterson Construction and Plumbers & Pipefitters Local 776. We so appreciate time spent volunteering making this event possible this year. Thank you for providing the perfect party environment.

Musical guests Jim Boedicker and Friends and Jacob Wall violinist added to the fun along with face painters Spencerville VFW Clown Unit and character entertainment. You have once again made this a special Christmas for our children and families!

Thank you and Merry Christmas!
