Bay Area Retirees Celebrate for Tots

Saginaw Bay Area retirees and friends held their annual White Elephant Christmas Party at the Linden-Hof Restaurant in Bay City on December 6, 2001. After an excellent meal provided by Linden-Hof staff, Santa Claus (dapper Dan Dacey) auctioned off numerous old and funny gifts which were provided by the participants. Auction monies were then donated to the Toys For Tots charity. A total of $110.00 was raised which included a special donation from Don Randall who could not attend.
