Members of the Hopkins Area Jaycees are helping Santa again this year by collecting requests for personalized letters.

"Santa" will send individualized, hand-signed letters to children anywhere in the country. The letters will include personal information unique to each child and be sent from the North Pole via Hopkins.

To get a letter sent to a child in your life, send $5 (cash or check) to Hopkins Area Jaycees, Attn: Santa, 5 Seventh Ave. N., Hopkins, MN 55343. Include the child's name, address, age, gender and any other information Santa should know. Also include a contact name and phone number. Letter requests must be received by Friday, Dec. 12.
