We would like to take this opportunity to thank the community for supporting  our decision in 2004 to make mandatory workshop attendance part of our program.  Participants have found their time spent in the classes to be  well-invested.  Many have told us that it has given them the information they needed so that they no longer require our help.  This is the type of success we 'd hoped for!

Our decision to encourage financial responsibility by providing educational resources to our program participants enticed many of our previous donors back after having beenaway from the program for the past few years. Requiring participation in these workshops reinforces the fact that we are trying to help families and children reach a level of financial stability.

All recipients of the Christmas Is For Kids ^TM program since 2004 received an initial mailing from us.  The notice told them that in order to be eligible for this year's program, they must attend 4 workshops out of nearly 20 available to them.  The response has been terrific and we are glad to help all of those who joined us for the workshops.
