3. It's that time again, for us to muster our forces to come to the aid of some 1500 kids on December 20th at 11 AM for the annual Saint Vincent de Paul Christmas Party.

The Anaheim Phoenix Club of 1340 Sanderson, Anaheim 92806, once again invites us to brighten this Christmas for Children. These kids were selected to attend, because either one or both of their parents are in jail or serving long time prison sentences. The incarcerated themselves applied to SVDP to have their children invited to a nice Christmas meal and receive a lovely gift from Santa Claus himself. In the past the Ancient Order of Hibernians( all 4 Orange County divisions) Council 13311 of the Knights of Columbus, the staff of the Dept. of motor Vehicles, the SVDP Ministry of Santa Clara de Asis of Yorba Linda and the Los Angeles Police Emerald Society have come together to brighten the holiday season for some very needy young people. Guests of honor include Father Michael Hanifin from SCDA Parish, Anaheim Police Chief John Welter and many other dignitaries from throughout Orange County. If you have time to spare to help celebrate Christ's Birthday with grateful children call event MC Brother Emerald Jerry O'Keefe at 714 998-9590 or email him at IrishFree1916@aol.com.

4. The Emerald Society Christmas Holiday Party will be at the Walton residence on December 6th...Further details and flyers will be available at our Nov.12th meeting. The Walton Party is a wonderful pot luck and all are encouraged to attend and bring friends and family. There will will music in the form of Pipes and Drums and the Walton clan magnificently performs Christmas classics! It is truly a magical night with singing Christmas and Irish songs, good friends ,and Christmas holiday cheer. It is the highlight of the year! Thanks to the Walton family for hosting this marvelous time!
