FUSE Family Holiday Dinners in December
In the month of December FUSE will have a holiday pitch-in at our regular monthly meetings in both Greenfield and Shelbyville. FUSE will provide fried chicken, and families will pitch in a side dish and/or a dessert. This is a family event, so no child care will be provided at these meetings. Just plan to enjoy good food and good fellowship with your friends at FUSE!
In Greenfield after dinner the kids will watch a holiday movie while parents socialize. In Shelbyville after dinner we are expecting a visit from Santa, so be sure to have your children bring their Christmas lists!

Visit with Santa
Are your children making their list and checking it twice? If so, maybe they are gearing up for our visit with Santa.
Our favorite man in the red suit is going to visit FUSE on Saturday morning, December 12, from 9:00 am to 11:00 am. Arbor Homes is hosting our event this year in one of their model homes in the Keystone subdivision in Greenfield. Keystone is located on McKenzie Road between Blue Road and 400 East. Complete address information will be emailed to you when you register. This event is open to any FUSE family, but for the convenience of our Shelby County families, we will also have Santa visiting at our regularly monthly meeting there in December.
Registration for this event is required and will be limited to the first 25 children, so click here to register now! Siblings welcome!
 Registration will close by December 5 or when 25 children are registered, whichever comes first.
When you register you will be asked to select your arrival time to help us make sure the kids don't all arrive at once or get there too late to spend quality time with Santa. Santa also likes to have a few things to discuss with your child, so make sure you provide the requested info for his notebook to help save the elves some time for toy making!
We look forward to seeing our FUSE families and can't wait to hear about all those Christmas wish lists!
