From the foods lab came the delicious odor of freshly-baked bread. Sewing machines hummed as nimble fingers prepared garments to be modeled at our annual fashion show. The swish of paint brushes and the pounding of hammers sounded the rebirth of Old toys into new. Love and warmth permeated Sunnyside on that memorable Sunday afternoon in December when we entertained the children of the surrounding area at our Christmas Party. A Club tradition, the party held special significance this year. In the antics of the children our 66Child care77 theories came to life. These experiences will bring confidence and joy to those who will have the iiMRSf, The Three Wise Men Norma Carosi, Margaret Menton, and Ann Dodd smile over the children at the cliilfs annual Christmas party.
