AMLA 2009 Children’s Christmas Party

The annual Children’s Christmas Party was held on Sunday, December, 13th at the Slovenian National Home on St. Clair Ave.  The weather was rainy but at least there was no snow and over one thousand members attended the party this year. We had over 500 children come to the party this year to visit with Santa and receive a gift! The planning committee would like to thank all those that make this AMLA most popular event of the year. There are so many people who work together to make this party a success. Thank you to the board of directors, the fraternal affairs coordinators and all the volunteers that come to work on both Saturday and Sunday. Your efforts are greatly appreciated and we couldn’t do it without you.  Thank you also to the Zab brothers again this year who worked so hard to set up the train display in the main hall I know so many people look forward to seeing the train display year after year. Many lodges donated baked goods or sent in donations towards cookies to be enjoyed by everyone. There was plenty of Slovenian sausage and hot dogs this year. Thank you to the kitchen staff who prepared all the food. It is very gratifying to hear so many people had a wonderful time.

I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
