The children who attend the Clemson Child Development Center, the Littlejohn Community Center Homework Center, and the HeadStart program have decorated these ornaments. The age, gender of the child, and items they want for Christmas will be listed on the ornament. Please come by and pick up an ornament and be sure to place the ornament on the wrapped item(s) you purchase, for the ornament identifies the child, and place under tree at City Hall no later than December 11, 2006. Thanking you in advance for making Christmas special for these children!
