Here are the top three stories today in Avon-Avon Lake:

1. It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas at Santa’s Workshop! Donations of toys, coats, pajamas and family baskets have been coming in and we are almost ready to open the shop to our families on Monday! The biggest need is gifts for teen girls and boys. Small-denomination fast-food gift cards, sportswear, cologne/make-up gift sets, movie theatre gift cards, and cozy blankets make great teen gifts! Today is the last day to drop off donations at Santa’s Workshop, 33455 Lake Road (parking is behind the building) from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m." (Avon/Avon Lake Community Resource Services via Facebook)
2. According to Yahoo, "AAA East Central recently honored northeast Ohio police departments for their outstanding efforts to increase road safety for all motorists. Fourteen Northeast Ohio departments received Platinum Awards, including Avon Lake." Congratulations! Keep up the good work! (Yahoo News)
3. When you’re looking for a new home, hunting down every new listing in the area can take hours of tedious research online. That’s why we here at Patch have stepped in and done the prepwork for you. Here’s a sampling of the newest batch of homes to hit the housing market in and around Avon-Avon Lake — such as a house in the Avon Lake area with 5 beds and 4 baths for $375,000, and another in the Avon area with 4 beds and 6 baths for $859,340.
