Volunteers needed for Christmas party By Leslie Wakulich Staff Writer

olunteers are still needed to sponsor a child for UCO's annual Christmas party for underprivileged children. The party, sponsored by the Presidents' Club, would provide for at least 173 children. "We still need sponsors for 40 of those 173," said Angela Walker, vice president of the club. The children are invited from Edmond's 13 elementary schools. The schools' counselors decide which children fit the description of "underprivileged," said Walker. "In most cases, the counselor goes by the (recipients of) the free lunch program at school." This year, the club has asked counselors to include students who have been adversely affected by the Oklahoma City bombing. Because two adults are required to

sponsor each child, the group needs 80 more volunteers to provide for the last 40 kids. Sponsors need to provide a stocking, an article of clothing and a toy for their child. In addition, they asked to pick their child up from school at 2:45 p.m. and take them home at 5 p.m. after the party. The club has requested that no more than $30 be spent on each child for the sake of fairness. "Anybody can be a sponsor," said Walker. Volunteers are not required to be a member of a campus organization or the Presidents' Club. "We're all children at heart," said Walker. "This is a very special way we can spend the holiday with those less fortunate than we are." Sponsors have to be available from 2:15 to 5 p.m. Dec. 1. For more information, contact Walker at 3968428 or Susan Thompson at 3412980, Ext. 2363.
