Santa's Calling

 

Santa checks in on one of our local children.

 Christmas is such a busy time of the year for Santa Claus that he has called on the Clinton Jaycees to help him personally touch the youth of Clinton, Camanche, and Fulton by making a list of good boys & girls for him to call a few weeks before Christmas.  These personal calls bring much joy and happiness to the children as well as Santa.
