The Positive Outlook agency hosted a special Christmas party on Friday night (December 12th) at Johns Incredible Pizza on Rosedale Hwy. The foster children represented by the agency and their "parents" filled all of the special "party rooms" at the popular location and were treated to pizza, ice cream, game tokens, goodie bags, and a surprise visit from Santa that included an enthusiastic Christmas carol sing-a-long. Every child at the restaurant that night had the opportunity to pose for photos and of course tell Santa what they most wanted for Christmas because after the party, "Santa" even meandered through the game room talking to, and taking photos with, all of the other children who were at the restaurant that night. Many thanks to Geri Arnold of Positive Outlook and her staff for hosting the event, and also to local businessman, T. Rockwell for standing in as "Santa" for the kids.
