Sharon’s school supported a sister city in La Mesa, Mexico. They took books and school supplies and toys and, of coarse, a Santa Claus to distribute them. The Santa was unavailable and Phil became the replacement with a mangy beard and wrinkled suit. Since beginning his Santa carreer for the Lion’s Club in the 1990’s, he performs at selected charities, schools, private parties, corporations and for other groups.

He is a member of the Amalgamated Real Bearded Santas with a membership of over 500. Their yearly convention will meet this July in Branson, MO.

As a valued volunteer of IPM, Phil wears many hats. He is a photographer, builder (of anything needed), organizer, cook, go-fer and member of the board.  He is valued for his many creative ideas and problem solving abilities.

Phil & Sharon Moyer at Renaissance Fair

A SAD APRIL 2007 FOR IPM

Members of IPM are saddened by the passing of first Sharon and then  
Phil Moyer a week later. We will miss their friendship, good spirit  
and joy of life.

They were an inseparable couple. Their activities included puppetry,  
the Renaissance Faire, the Dickens Festival and their delightful  
appearances as Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus.

As members of the IPM Board, they could always be counted on to  
pitch in wherever needed. The organization will not be the same  
without them.
