In 1997, I was reading an American Air magazine
that had an article about Operation Santa, a
program through USPS that receive letters to
Santa from families in need during the holidays.
That year I pulled in come crazy friends and we
answered a few letters. I took a few years off and
started again last year.
JIm and Aaron as Santa (2007)
I originally called it Operation Santa.
WinterTime means different things to different people. I was looking for
a way to make our fund raising efforts more inclusive. Deidre
O'Halleran came up with the NEW INCLUSIVE name for this exciting
event.
Operation JOY. aka O. JOY!
I had the pleasure of working with many talented people over the
years to create all aspects of O. Joy. Donations of time, money, skills
and love have been given since 1997.
Where does the money go?
ALL the money will benefit families in need during the Holiday
Season. Since 1997, 10 Operation Santa (project through the US Post
Office) families got tons of loot, plus 3 additional families with
toddlers and a HUGE coat donation to the Somerville Homeless
Coalition.
