| The first "Christmas in Odessa"
was born 46 years ago as a fund raiser for the Women's Club of Odessa. Our
purpose was to fund college scholarships for local high school seniors. With
the help and cooperation of Odessa homeowners, we have provided scholarships
to more than 100 students. In addition, we have been able to contribute to
many worthwhile community groups and projects. We are proud to make these
contributions to our community, and we are fortunate to have the support
of the many fine people who have encouraged us through the years.
The houses and schedules for this year's Christmas In Odessa are in the planning stage. Check back in August for information on this year's celebration. |
