 Madisonville KY - C.A.D. Website Design, of Madisonville KY has given the SantaClothesClub.org website a new look and upgraded capabilities to help in the effort to provide new clothing for needy youngsters in the Tri-State who would not otherwise be warmly clothed. The Santa Clothes Club was organized in 1946 to provide new clothing for needy youngsters in the Tri-State who would not otherwise be warmly clothed. It's founders were Dick Anderson, the Sports Editor for the Evansville Press, and Don Menke, then Manager of WEOA Radio (now WIKY-AM). Charter members Sam Medlicott, Executive Director of the YMCA; Eddie Edwards, Youth Director of the YMCA; and Meyer Siegel, owner of Siegel's Mens Store, screened the children referred by schools or civic groups, purchased the clothing, and distributed it to the children at a YMCA party a few days prior to Christmas each year. In November of 1981, the Santa Clothes Club was incorporated as a non-profit
organization and, in January of 1982, officers and a board of directors
were elected. This group is the core of the volunteers who oversee the
annual fund drive, including the solicitation of funds, obtaining the
names and addresses of the needy children, purchase and distribution of
clothing, producing the telethon and any other programs in the community.
Planning and coordinating of this project is a yearlong effort.
