That first year, with the help of a friend, she collected gifts for children in 13 families.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->This year, 19,112 children, in 5,500 families will receive Christmas presents from Santa Clauses volunteering with the Elf Louise Christmas Project.<\/p>\n<p>The current day Elf Louise Christmas Project has evolved into a community-based 100% volunteer organization. These individuals work year-round to ensure the project will continue into the future indefinitely. We have over 4,500 volunteers wrap gifts and deliver toys during the Christmas season.<\/p>\n<p>Louise Locker &#8211; Breast Cancer<br \/>\nOn a side note, Elf Louise has been fighting breast cancer since October.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mhtml:{8FD18B89-5D00-4A34-9344-3FCE2DEBBA35}mid:\/\/00000145\/!x-usc:http:\/\/www.mysanantonio.com\/news\/local_news\/Elf_Louise_facing_breast_cancer\">http:\/\/www.mysanantonio.com\/news\/local_news\/Elf_Louise_facing_breast_cancer_with_courage.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Santa used\u00a0Paul Guido&#8217;s\u00a0Vision motorcycle\u00a0on Saturday December 19th, 2009 to deliver gifts to seven family&#8217;s in San Antonio.\u00a0 Here is a video from the local station.\u00a0 Click here, or on the image to play&#8230; It is too funny that they called my Vision a Harley in the title.\u00a0 It was 65 degrees and Santa was sweating [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[452,8],"tags":[513,514],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/sanantoniohams.org\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4424"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/sanantoniohams.org\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/sanantoniohams.org\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/sanantoniohams.org\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/sanantoniohams.org\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4424"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/sanantoniohams.org\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4424\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7720,"href":"http:\/\/sanantoniohams.org\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4424\/revisions\/7720"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/sanantoniohams.org\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4424"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/sanantoniohams.org\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4424"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/sanantoniohams.org\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4424"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
