The Knit Before Christmas

Update from Santa’s workshop

Filed under: Community, Events — jeanette @ 9:49 pm

We in the Christmas Room are literally as busy as Santa’s elves, packing gifts and finishing knits.  So far we have packed 6,730 gifts for seafarers and shipped 4,252 gifts to be distributed to mariners working on the America’s rivers.

Any knitted garments or handmade Christmas cards received by December 19 will be distributed during Christmas 2007.  SCI Chaplains will be delivering gifts through the Epiphany. The first gifts of the year have already made it onto vessels:

That’s SCI Chaplain Deacon Jacques Girard (our Santa Claus) in the middle.

Happy Knitting all!
