We had forty -six angels on the tree.

And i thank everybody for participating and getting them off."

"the tree is bare and we are here and everybody is supposed to bring them back by friday."

Standup vassar said the toys will be given away on december the 18th.

She said she will only allow eight to ten people in here at a time because of the pandemic ."

"so we will distribute the gifts on the eighteenth.

So we call the parents and tell them what time to come so that everybody won't be here at the same time.

So we are doing that and city hall is excited."
