Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor, On behalf of the Yorktown Western Days Association, I would like to take a few minutes to thank St Paul Lutheran Church members, Holy Cross Catholic Church members, and all the other local individuals who generously donated towards our Cowboy Claus campaign for this year. Each year we serve children ages 0-15 who are less fortunate with numerous toys, gifts, and other items they are in need of to make sure everyone has a magical Christmas. Without your donations and continued support we would not be able to provide this event.
