2011 Christmas Holiday Events:
Tree Lighting Ceremony
and Holiday Giving Tree
November 25 at 5:30pm in front
of City Hall, over 100 citizens
gathered for our Annual
Holiday Tree Lighting ceremony.
It’s always a fun time gathering
with friends, family, and
neighbors, listening to and
singing along with the holiday
music and the ever popular visit
and pictures with Santa. Once
the countdown began for the tree
lighting, you could see the
anticipation on each face and
hear all the oohs and ahhs as
the tree came to life with
lights. What a great way it was
to kick off the holiday season.
And lest we forget, the hot
chocolate, coffee, and cookies
provided by our Seniors were a
great way to keep warm.
Attendees also stopped by the
Holiday Giving Tree to
select special ornaments from
the tree and fulfill one of the
holiday wishes for a member of
one of the 12 families on the
tree this holiday season. All
those presents were wrapped and
made ready for Santa at our
Annual Gift Wrapping Party on
Saturday, December 17, at City
Hall. Packages were delivered to
family's homes by Santa on
December 22, bringing a joyful
holiday season to those in our
community who can't afford one
on their own.
Both events (the Tree Lighting
as well as the Holiday Giving
Tree) are just a few of the
happenings you can volunteer at
and get involved with. Pacific
Partnerships meets the second
Tuesday of each month
at 6:30 pm at the Pacific Algona
Community Center. Come join us!
