San Juan Capistrano — On Saturday, December 17, 2005, the Office of the Orange County District Attorney (OCDA) will host its 7th Annual Adopt-a-Family Program at the San Juan Capistrano Community Center from 9 a.m. to noon.

All adopted families are invited to attend this special holiday celebration. At the event, the families will be able to receive their gifts and take part in a fun-filled morning.

The resource table will have staff and volunteers on hand to answer questions from the public about the criminal justice system and disseminate bilingual resource booklets. Of course, the event would not be complete without Santa Claus to greet and take pictures with the children.
