On Saturday, November 30th the United Church of Garretson will host a presentation by Tom Roberts from Sioux Falls Children’s Home. At 2:30 PM Roberts will give an interesting oral presentation, and recite different portions of books that he has written about Christmas. You will have an opportunity to meet Tom and his wife, Tammy, and are welcome to bring children to the presentation. United Church will be providing free refreshments of bars, ice cream, and coffee or cold drink to all who come.

Tom Roberts is the author of five wonderful Children's Christmas books, and one recently released book on children and mental wellness.  There will be a display of his books available for sale.  These books could be great Christmas gifts for your loved ones. 100% of every sale supports the programs and services provided by Children's Home Society.

The Roberts began as “volunteers at a Christmas party for the kids at Sioux Falls Children’s Home. In 2002, they produced Tom’s first book, ‘Twas the Night Before Christ’, as a fundraiser for Children’s Home Society. The project was a great success and eventually led to the hiring of both Tom and Tammy at Children’s Home Foundation.”
