Shout Out to the Hubby!

Now departing for the North Pole. Yes, you read that correctly!

Some 500 United Airline employees and other volunteers made sure some of the terminally and severely ill children from around the state of Illinois got to the North Pole this Christmas. We're talking Santa, Elves and many personalized toys for 134 children to enjoy at O'Hare. Welcome to: Operation North Pole!

Retired UA employee Barbara Dabler is the heart behind "Operation North Pole." This was the first year for ONP in Chicago. And the one day event is a year in constructing. Volunteers will gather next year to organize, create and wrap gifts while also securing sponsors to help.

And so here is my shout out to the hubby! My husband works his tail off for his clients and for the unions he represents. Can you tell I'm proud of him? United Airlines is one of them. So when they asked him to help get ONP off the ground (no pun intended), he didn't think twice about it.

If you're interested in meeting up during the year to help plan and organize for Operation North Pole, let me know. Barb and everyone else would love to have you and the children will love it even more!
