Operation Santa Claus

 On Sunday, December 19th, 2004, members of Good-Will escorted Santa Claus through the district to visit all of the children and pass out hundreds of candy canes. With lights flashing and sirens blaring, the convoy of emergency vehicles made stops at the local residences as well as Price Chopper and Home Depot. Santa then visited the friends and relatives of Good-Will members during the annual Christmas party.
