Letters From Santa

Share the Magic of Christmas with Letters from Santa,

and Help Fight Childhood Cancer

Sponsored by the  New Hope Women of Today

Create wonderful holiday memories, while at the same time helping to fight childhood cancer.  For your donation of only $5, the week before Christmas Santa will send the special child in your life a letter postmarked from the North Pole!  No two letters are alike, because Santa and his helpers use the information that YOU provide to write personalized letters that children will remember for years to come.

Orders and payments must be received by DECEMBER 1^ST to arrive before Christmas.

(For orders received past the deadline, Santa will send a letter telling about his visit to your child on Christmas Eve…

 …sorry, but no refunds will be given for orders that arrive late)

Send one form for each letter (located on the back of this sheet) along with payment to:

Make checks payable to:	New Hope Women of Today
Mail form(s) and $5 per letter to:	Diane VanDierendonck
	“That Guys Letter”
	3804 31st Avenue N. Robbinsdale,MN 55422
