Albina Center prepares Christmas gifts
> * busy tune for most
people. I t is especially so far staff at the
Albina Office of Children’s Services D rvi
ston (CSD). They are busy try in g to make
this a better Christmas for many child
The activity is the anwuai Christmas
dnve to provide gifts for approximately
400 children. The fund raising started
back is September, and ends this week
The entire office has been involved in one
Mrs. Bonnie Griswold I the chairman
of the drive for the secan I straight year.
H er job is to try to make sure there is
enough money and enough gifts to go
around Happily, she has a lot of help.
M rs. Griswold says that most of the
money comes from sales. Thia re a r a
plant sale raised $138.00. O ther sales
indude a bake sale, a craft sale, and
hutches. A bridge tournament also helps
make money A drawing was held far a
handmade quilt, sewn by employees.
A lot of help is also given by several
groups in the area. W ithout these groups,
the drive would not be successful. E m
ployees at W estern Topigraphienl Soil
donate about 100 gifts each year.

addition, several families and i n d i i i f - - 1-
abo donate money far gifts.
The children who receive the gifts are
from the Albina area. They range in age
from unborn to 18. Names of children are
submitted by caseworkers a t the CSD
Offiee.
The people who donate the gifts are
anonymous. W hen the children receive
their presents. Santa Claus gets the
credit.
.
According to Mrs. Griswold, many of
the children have special needs. The
people at In te rio r Associates, a part of
the Bonneville Power Administration,
often try to buy those special gifts. Last
year they bought walkie-talkies for a
child who was em otionally deprived and
unable to communicate. M rs. Griswold
hopes the walkie-talkies helped him to
communicate w ith other people.
Although M rs. Griswold is the chair
man. she had a lot of help from others.
Linda Beaehail and M ay etta Rocks work
ed hard on the drive over the years.
Bruce Titus organised the bridge tour
nament M ary Erion put the quilt toge
ther. And then, there are ail the people
who donated money and gifts.
The drive is a lot of work, but it is
w orthwhile. Planning for next year's
drive w ill sta rt in January.
