Local 776 held their annual Children’s Christmas Party, sort of, as a “Drive-thru” on Saturday, December 10, 2022. Unfortunately again this year it was not the joyful event we are accustomed to with the Union Hall filled with our kids, family, friends, and coworkers gathering throughout the day, with the Christmas Spirit overflowing from the Hall. Nevertheless, Christmas is in the air, and judging from the smiles on the kids they didn’t seem to mind! Cars lined up at both the Harrisburg and York Union Halls for the kids to receive a gift, a goodie bag filled with cookies and candy treats, and a chance to say Merry Christmas to Santa! From the smiles on the member’s faces, it looks like they were having a good time also!

“Our Christmas party has a long tradition of serving the Local’s members and their families,” commented Local 776 President Ed Thompson. “While not the party we are accustomed to, we’ll find a way to continue our tradition. I would like to thank everyone; the Officers, Business Agents, and staff, who worked to make this event a success!”

All smiles for Santa from this group!

He might be a hockey fan but he's got Santa and Christmas on his mind!

The Drive-thru brings out the smiles in everyone!

This is Local 776 Member Matt Miller's first grandson, Flynn. Flynn is six months old and this was his first time seeing Santa Claus!

Additional photos from the “party” can be found in the Photo Gallery on the website and on the Local 776 mobile app.

From everyone at Teamsters Local 776, Merry Christmas!
