According to auxiliary member and doll dresser Lela Anderson, there are about 450 dolls still left to dress. Last year we ran out of dolls just one and a half days after the Goodfellows store opened, so this year we ordered more. The dolls come from New York and are all little girl dolls. Some have blonde hair, some are redheads, some are black and some are Indian. Helpers may choose whatever style they'd like to dress their dolls.
Some ladies make crocheted dresses, some make cheerleader outfits, some add hats and hair ribbons.
The dolls all end up with different personalities. Last year one helper's granddaughter even added birth certificates. The auxiliary has sent the word out for help through the newspaper and on the radio. This year we've been slower getting people to help. We're behind schedule at this point.
