Dear Editor,
Dear Santa,
Would you please bring me some new clothes this Christmas?
Love, a Rochelle child in need
This is the Christmas wish of more than  225 children who are referred to the Children’s Shopping Trip sponsored by the Rochelle Community Action Network. These children are referred by our local schools, churches and non-profit agencies because they need the most basic of clothing items. Children are taken shopping by a local community volunteers and treated to a party with Santa. Without the support of the Rochelle community, this event would not be possible. Together, we CAN!

If you would like to bless a child this Christmas who is in real need, please consider a donation to this event. Any amount is gratefully appreciated. Checks may be made payable to Community Action Network, P.O. Box 432, Rochelle, IL 61068. Please send donations by Nov. 30. Any funds received after this date will be used for next year.
Thank you for your support and the happiest of holidays to you and yours.
The event is co-sponsored by CAN, Rochelle Noon Kiwanis and Golden K Kiwanis.
OUR community working together to make a difference for OUR kids!
