Santa's MailboxSanta and his elves have been receiving many letters in the mailbox at The Rec! As they're reading them, they've found that some people haven't addressed their envelopes to themselves! Doing so makes it much easier to send a letter back to your child. If you're dropping off a letter, here's an easy guide to make sure we can get a letter back to your family! Please do not seal the envelope. - Blank upper left corner - Your child's name and mailing address in the center - A stamp Drop off a letter in the magical mailbox any day until Sunday, Dec. 7, and we'll make sure it gets delivered in time for a response before Christmas at no cost to you! If you have already dropped your letter off and missed a step, Santa will still get your child a response as long as he has their address. Find this event on Facebook.
