Shopping with kids

Members of Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 2948 and the Ladies Auxiliary to the Post assisted local children in Christmas gift shopping Dec. 7 at Kmart. Each child was able to pick out gifts, wrapping included, have a photo taken with Santa and Mrs. Claus, and enjoy a snack. Every year the men and women of the Post fund the costs to insure Borderland children can have a Merry Christmas. Taking part in the recent event were, bottom row, left, Irene Anderson, Santa (Wayne Sampson), Mrs. Claus (Margarete Kostiuk) and Shelle Walkoviak; middle row, Pat DeLapp, Lynde Mettler, Beth Johnson, Tina Hofius and Alysa Hackenmueller; back row, Terry Randolph, Warren Bahr, Dennis Walkoviak, Phillip Cairns and Ginger Romosz.
