A little help for St. Nick

Employees of Holloman Construction of Odessa, Texas, and Custom Automated Controls, two contractors at the Durango-area Williams natural gas processing plant, got together with Santa Claus on Wednesday to donate about 200 toys to Project Merry Christmas. Project board President Tauni Gosche said 520 families applied this year and many requests remain on the Angel Tree at the Durango Mall. The deadline to help is Sunday, and those wishing to do so can go to the wrapping booth at the mall. For more information about other ways to help, visit www.projectmerrychristmas.com.
