SHAWNEE'S
ANGEL TREE
 Wednesday,
December 5, 2007 (Shawnee on Delaware, Pennsylvania) –
The Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort is making the holidays brighter
for children in need of an encouraging gesture. Coordinated
by Monroe County Children and Youth, the Inn’s employees
can sponsor a child during the holiday season by selecting
a name from a Christmas tree.
This year will mark Shawnee’s
third year of involvement in the Angel Tree program. Because
of the success of last year’s campaign, the resort will
sponsor 20 more children than it did last year. 70 Children
will have a brighter holiday this year because of Shawnee’s
involvement.
Angel Tree is a Monroe County
Children and Youth program that welcomes the participation
of local businesses during the holiday season. Each company
that takes part in the program pledge to sponsor a specific
number of children, and in turn, employees can take it upon
themselves to support a child and purchase him or her a gift.
The children involved in the Angel Tree program make modest
lists for Santa Claus with the hopes of having their wishes
fulfilled.
Monroe County Children and
Youth is a state mandated agency whose primary purpose is
to protect, promote, and or provide for the well being of
children, birth through age 18. Children and Youth is responsible
for investigating all reports of suspected child abuse and
neglect. Children and Youth intervene on the child’s
behalf for numerous reasons. Anything from excessive truancy
to child abuse warrants Children and Youth to intervene on
behalf of the county.

Resort is proud to help make children happier during the holiday
season. If your business would like to inquire more about
