IYANBITO – The folks at the Iyanbito Chapter House want the public to know about an upcoming toy drive to take place during the Christmas holidays.
Felisha Adams, an Iyanbito native and a former 2016 candidate for a state senate seat in the New Mexico legislature, said the 6th annual Holiday Dinner and Toy Drive will be Dec. 17 from 4 to 9 pm at the Iyanbito Chapter House in Iyanbito.
“We have made it our tradition by giving back,” Adams said. “Last year we helped put smiles on over 200 kids’ faces in McKinley County. We hope to double it this year with your help.”
Adams said the evening includes dinner, dessert, entertainment, games and a visit from Santa Claus. She said kids that attend will receive a gift from Santa Claus.
“This public event is a great experience for all ages and is a family-oriented event,” Adams said. Adams is a relative of former state Rep. Albert “Bert” Shirley of Iyanbito.
