Approximately four hundred people turned out for the 2007 annual "Cookies With Santa" event according to Annette Duncan of the Arab Civitan Club.  159 children had their picture made with Santa according to Duncan.  In addition to the photos the children enjoyed cookies, milk, juice and pop corn.

Duncan said "Cookies With Santa" is a service project free to the community that the Arab Civitan Club truly enjoys each year, we all get a blessing from visiting with the children and their parents.

"We would like to thank our sponsors, Piggly Wiggly of Guntersville, BancorpSouth, Warehouse Discount Groceries, Junior Civitans from Arab and Brindlee Mountain Clubs, our “photo volunteers – Kristi Rowe and Laurie Duncan. Thanks to Archie Anderson , Arab Today and the Arab Tribune for advertising this event. This is a huge project and we could not make it without the help of these folks.
