Hightstown High School Holiday Party December 8, 2008 The American Red Cross of Central New Jersey is very proud of the exceptional humanitarian work done by our Youth Council and Red Cross Clubs. One Club recently held a Holiday Party for neighborhood children who are less fortunate. Children and parents from more than 130 families were treated to games, food, songs from the choir, pictures with Santa and Mrs. Claus and special holiday gifts from the Giving Tree donated by club members. Over 400 people attended, including 30 Red Cross Club members. This outstanding event was coordinated by the members of the Hightstown High School Red Cross Club and their advisors. Kudos to you all…you’ve certainly helped make the Season Brighter! Chapter Staff

Santa and Mrs. Claus (Billy Roach and Darcy Chiriboga) visit and take pictures with the children. Balloon animal fun! Santa’s Helpers Marina Vyas and Anuksha Sumar hand out donated toys. The kids just can’t get enough Santa! Santa gets everyone dancing!

Face painting and yummy treats are a big hit. Elf Priya Amin visits with Mrs. Claus (Darcy Chirboga). Baby Angelo doesn’t seem happy to be on Santa’s lap.
