Lynn Taylor, Janet Barr and Shirley Dewey.
The Children’s Christmas Spree was a great success. The events took place in Sharbot Lake at the Child Centre, in Parham at the Oddfellows’ Hall, in Arden with the Red Hat Ladies, and in Plevna at the public school.
Donations of money and new items were collected all year at the Treasure Trunk in Sharbot Lake. Volunteers at the Treasure Trunk took the project from collecting to buying gifts, and wrapping the presents. Children under 12 came to shop for their parents for under a dollar per item. While the children shopped, parents had tea coffee & cookies.
Thank you to all the volunteers for coming out and helping the children to shop.
Donations have already started coming in to the Treasure Trunk for this year’s Christmas Spree. All donations of money and new items can be dropped off at the Treasure Trunk between Monday and Friday, 9-3.
