Arlene and Ron Tackett are busily preparing for another successful Christmas
Program. Each year, they and an army of elves bring Christmas joy to boys
and girls in Bucerias. What started out as their own personal effort to hand
out toys has evolved into a wonderfully large event.

Last Christmas Eve, close to 800 kids were recipients of toys from "Santa
Ron." If you'd like to help them, they can use donations of money, toys,
candy and help with the wrapping and candy bagging.

Their phone number is (329) 298-1729, or email Arlene:
rlenetackettmx (at) yahoo.com. Anyone who helps on Christmas Eve is invited
for Arlene's spaghetti dinner afterwards. We guarantee that helping with
this event will be a very special experience!
