Doctors might not make house calls any more, but Santa Claus does — thanks to the Rent-A-Santa program sponsored by Zonta Club of the Santa Clarita Valley.
Santa, with a full entourage of elves and Mrs. Claus, is available for community events, private or corporate parties, family holiday get-togethers and personal visits with local children, with proceeds helping to support Zonta’s local and international projects. Cost is $100 per hour or $150 for two hours, and early reservations are recommended, especially for the most popular few weekends before Christmas. Discounted rates are available for longer visits.
“We’re still awaiting confirmations from a number of Santas who have served in previous years, but if the calls continue to come in as they have been doing, we are going to need all the Santa volunteers we can get,” said Barbara Cochran, who is responsible for keeping the Rent-A-Santa schedule.
Local residents, businesses or non-profits interested in reserving a visit from Santa or prospective Santas interested in volunteering their time can call Cochran at (661) 251-1352 between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m.
