When writing your letter, be sure to include your return address & phone number so the special Santa staff can be sure you are able to get your return letter. Santa’s elves will be working hard to create the Nice and Naughty list this year, and we are looking forward to hearing from you. Some elves may even be personally delivering return letter to our writers with a special visit, but we’ll call ahead and make those arrangements with parents first. Hey parents: Be sure to include the child’s name legibly, your phone number, and return address so we are able to make arrangements for your return letter. All letters must be received in mailboxes by Wednesday, December 16 by 6pm.

Help Your Neighbor, Help Your City
City of Poquoson Mosquito and Drainage (868-3590) Reminds us all that it is that time of the year when our drainage ditches fill up with leaves and debris. By raking your ditches and yard you can eliminate drainage blockages throughout the year. Less blockages means less flooding, and less flooding means less damage for you and your neighbors.
