We officially kick-off IS & RESO Christmas activities this week with the opening of our raffle, talent show, and Santa Workshop on Thursday.
Last chance to sign the kiddos up for a virtual Santa visit
On Thursday, Dec. 7, we are offering two times to visit virtually with St. Nick, 8 a.m. PST (9:30 p.m. IST) and 4:00 p.m. PST. Once online, we’ll call out the name of the child and caregiver when they’re up next. Santa will be ready to greet them, interact, and answer questions about the North Pole and his workshop. Additional details and to sign up here.
Fourth-annual IS & RESO Christmas raffle Dec. 4 – 15
This will be a fun way to connect across IS & RESO, and to demonstrate your lesser-known talents. Simply create a 1–3-minute talent video featuring yourself or your family members, including pets (!), sharing a talent of your choice: instrumental, poetry reading, funny video, dance, DIY, holiday crafting, etc. Entries are due Friday, Dec. 15 and voting takes place the following week. Look for details and submit your video here.
Our Christmas Hybrid Open Forum is Dec. 12 from Renton
