Raising money for the Scouts
The holiday spirit was in evidence at a special breakfast with Santa, held at the New Utrecht Reformed Church on December 8, aimed at raising funds to help run programs for the Boy Scout Troop 20-Cub Scout Pack 20 throughout the year.
The holiday-decorated space, on 18th Avenue between 83rd and 84th Streets, provided a fitting backdrop for characters such as Rudolph, Dora the Explorer, elves and Frosty the Snowman.
Mrs. Santa Claus, also known as Elaine Delaney, cubmaster for the troop, walked around the room, hugging and kissing all her adopted kids, the Boy Scouts who she said she loves to watch grow.
