It was only a matter of time before Santa went high-tech.
With an increasing number of local children needing holiday gifts, the Santa Claus Girls have harnessed the convenience of the Internet, establishing a Web site to make it easier for people to donate money, Christmas presents and their time to the charity.
The site, www.santaclausgirls.org, provides a history of the organization and information about this year's campaign.
