Big Hearts O' the Emerald Society

My Brother and Sisters of the Emerald Society,

A team of members to include Kim Braden, AKA Kim Bearden and Santa Claus are going to be making their annual trek to the Ronald McDonald House to visit some very special children who would be thrilled to receive a visit from Santa. These children and their families are facing serious medical problems and it it our hope to brighten their day with a visit from Santa.

Now , what we need now are some gifts for Santa to give to the children. Kim Braden has asked for our members who are going to the Christmas Holiday Party at the Walton residence to each bring a stuffed animal so that he can bear them as gifts with Santa. I think this is a splendid idea and thank Kim for the suggestion! So, if you could please bring a stuffed animal it would be greatly appreciated!

Our team will also be presenting the pull tabs (special thanks to Kim Braden and Mike Murphy) that have been collected as they will translate into a donation for the Ronald McDonald House! Any and all donations will be accepted in the spirit of the season!

If you are interested in joining our team on this venture please let me know via email and/or phone. The date is tentatively Thursday, 12/11 with a time to be announced tomorrow...most likely the afternoon.

"Irish Fest" with the Notre Dame Alumni Association was a great time..Thanks to all who participated and thanks to the Notre Dame Club of Los Angeles. While the outcome of the Notre Dame-USC contest was not what we had hoped for everyone still had a wonderful time and we look forward to "Irish Fest" next year!
