All funds contributed support people in need in the local Murrieta Corps Service Area In December, e Colony got a special visit from Santa himself. Following a Murrieta Police escort, Santa emerged from his tricked-out trolley to Deck the Halls. According to my source (Mrs. Santa), Santa has been bringing these joyful visits to e City of Murrieta since 1994. It's "all hands on deck" for the many volunteers to make it happen. at evening, photos were taken, carols were sung, and toys and canned foods were collected from our generous Colony residents to be donated to a variety of local charities. When asked how she would sum up the evening, Gretchen Sedlacek, one of the many volunteers, told me, "It's just magical. Santa Stops are part of what makes Murrieta so special."
