5) Our vendors need help selling the December issue. Buy extra copies and give them to your co-workers after the holidays to introduce them to Street Sense. (Better than re-gifting chocolate.)

Our Christmas In-Kind Wishlist:
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Claus,
We realize it is a lot to ask for more when we already have so many generous customers, but secret Santas make the season of giving better for us all. Here is a list of all the things Street Sense would like for Christmas because we feel we’ve been extra good this year.
The office staff has toiled over issue after issue of our paper. Our jobs would be so much easier if you could just check your list twice and make room in your sleigh for:
For our editing staff:
- A flat screen monitor to better use our layout programs like Indesign and Photoshop
- A new computer, Mac or PC, that is light weight that has Indesign and Photoshop on it or at least room on the hard drive for it
- A license for Photoshop and/or Indesign to add onto a separate workstation
For our volunteer office staff:
- General office supplies;
- Pens
- Copy/printer paper
- Stamps
- Reporter notepads
- Tape
- Scissors
- Paper clips
- Rubber-bands
- Paint and other painting supplies so we can repaint the office
For our vendors:
- Book bags and plastic bags
- Your continued support
Thanks, Santa
Street Sense
