also given socks, hats and gloves for each child. That’s a big deal for Lori Dehtan, who has seven children. She said it was a “real blessing.” After waiting in line, volunteers take each family representative to a series of locations de- pending on the children’s ages and sizes. Parents can then pick out gifts for their children ages from newborn to 18. Dehtan had an over- flowing grocery cart of gifts for her children. Once they completed their shopping, other volunteers directed them to the “wrapping room” where more volunteers wrapped their gifts and helped take them to their cars. Clarence Banton was there with his wife who was getting gifts for their kids. Banton is from Oklahoma City and said the experience really brightened his Christ- mas. “We just moved here and I’ve never seen so many people helping oth- er people,” Blanton said. Kris Martin, the orga- nizer of Project Noel, said the organization raised $20,000 for the giveaway that will affect 210 fami- lies including gifts for 610 children. That amounts to about $95 per family or $32 per child in gifts. Are you reading this? Your competitor is too. ADVERTISE WITH US! 580.482.1221 ALTUSTIMES.COM SportsWEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 19, 2018 9
