Approximately 300 people have signed up for Andalusia’s Community Christmas and there is one more opportunity for those who need assistance to sign up, organizer Larry Avery said.

“We expect to pick up more at the sign-up,” he said. “We are anticipating we will get 100 or so more at our late registration.”

Late registration will be today from 3:30 p.m. until 7 p.m., at Andalusia Elementary School.

Avery said angels are available for adoption at Andalusia Regional Hospital, CCB Community Bank, Darby’s, JCPenney and Walmart

“Our angels are out,” Avery said. “Scott Wright has been working to get those out this week.”

Avery said it’s vital that the community step up and adopt children to make the event a success.

“We depend on the community to help us make this a success,” he said.

Avery said that the presents are due to the Kiwanis Center on Dec. 4-6.

Drop off times will be from 1 p.m. until 5 p.m., on Dec. 4 and Dec. 6 and 8 a.m. until noon on Dec. 5.
