Santa, toys to be at Family Readiness Christmas party Published Dec. 1, 2010 By Tech. Sgt. Mark R. W. Orders-Woempner 434th ARW Public Affairs GRISSOM AIR RESERVE BASE, Ind. -- The 434th Airman and Family Readiness office will be hosting a children's Christmas party Saturday during the December unit training assembly, which will be visited by Santa Claus. Not only will kids get to sit on Santa's lap and tell him their Christmas lists, they will also receive a toy. "We've received toys from Military One Source as part of Operation Home Front, said Jill Marconi, 434th A&FR director. "This is for all our personnel, so any child that comes through the line will get a toy." Ms. Marconi also added that parents who can't bring their children can still pick up a goodie bag to take home to them. And, 'tis the season of giving, so in that spirit the A&FR office shared toys with other tenant units on base. "We distributed many of the toys to the three Army Reserve units here for their parties as well," said Ms. Marconi. The Christmas party will be held in Bldg. 595 from 3-4:30 p.m.
