On Saturday, December 14, Santa made a stop at the Odell Community Building to ask 41 children what they wanted for Christmas. Prior to this Odell hosted its annual Soup Luncheon, which served 130 people and had 11 adult & 6 Girl Scout volunteers. 32 pies were donated by community members and 42 hams and turkeys were given away. A food drive was held for the food pantry and winter coats and accessories were donated. Thank you to all of the sponsors who do-
nated for this ham/turkey drawing and to all of the volunteers who helped make the day happen. To the Gydesens and Odell Market for all of their as-sistance and hard work. To Mrs. Gydesen’s piano students for their enter-tainment, and to Mrs. Kle-can and the Diller-Odell Elementary Art students for their beautiful work that was on display. This event is sponsored by OACE. Any proceeds will go back to the community. (see page 2 for ham/turkey win-
ners and sponsors) Jayna, Josie & Jacob Novotny tell
Santa their wishes for Christmas.
