Santa Claus is coming to town

Starting Saturday, Santa is coming to town to visit children of all ages. The annual visit from the North Pole is made possible with the help of the City of Rohnert Park and the Rohnert Park Public Safety Officer’s Association.


Donations of new, unwrapped toys will be accepted during December’s Santa stops and distributed to local families within Rohnert Park city limits as part of the RPPSOA  2011 Christmas Toy Program.

 Santa’s Stops  

5 to 7 p.m.

• Saturday, Dec. 3, at City Center Drive next to the Rohnert Park Library during the Holiday Lights Celebration

• Sunday, Dec. 4, at the Community Center Complex, 5401 Snyder Lane

• Saturday, Dec. 10, at City Center Drive next to the Rohnert Park Library

• Sunday, Dec. 11, at the Community Center Complex, 5401 Snyder Lane

This is different from years past when he made his way through the streets of each section with the help of the Public Safety Officers and his sleigh pulled by a fire truck.

The Little Things

Brandy and I have enjoyed talking with the kids about what they are thankful for. It warms my heart to hear them mention things like "camping", "my sister", "the farmers market", "books" and other non commercial / materialistic items.

Looking at life through the eyes of a preschooler makes us remember what life is really about.... the simple pleasures with those we love :)  

We would like to wish you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving. May you all enjoy the little things ... making memories that the kids will hold dear throughout their lives.
