At a local meeting, Speaker 1 announced that the Dolton Park District will hold a “12 Days of Christmas” series from Dec. 1 through Dec. 6 and directed residents to the park district’s website for event details.

Speaker 2 described a complementary Village of Dolton holiday effort tied to the tree lighting. Speaker 2 said organizers will place a box labeled “Ladders to Santa” for children to drop letters and that the program will select five families to receive help granting Christmas wishes. “We are gonna pick 5 families, and we want to grant them their Christmas wishes,” Speaker 2 said.

The park district’s library will also host a dropbox for letters, Speaker 2 added. No formal vote or action was recorded; the announcements were presented as community information and outreach. Residents were advised to check the Dolton Park District website for schedules and further details.

The meeting moved on after the announcements; no committee assignments, motions, or funding details related to these items were disclosed in the transcript.
