Canada letters to the editor St. Nick's Christmas Shopping Day for Children is just around the corner Dear Editor: On Saturday, December 3 from 9 am -noon St. Thomas' Anglican Church in Seaforth will once again be alive with the sound of happy and excited children! St. Nick's Christmas Shopping Day for Children invites all kids ages 3-13 to shop for their family members by giving a free-will donation at the door. Children, in turn, are assisted by our helpful elves to choose and wrap up to 6 gifts each from our great selection of donated items, while their parents wait, enjoying refreshments and checking out the silent auction table. All proceeds of this day are given back to the commu- nity to support local children's events and programs. Last year's proceeds of $2,400. pro- vided free skating sessions at both Seaforth & Clinton are- nas, free swimming at Vanastra Rec Centre, and supported ele- mentary school and library programs in Seaforth and Clin- ton. We rely on and appreciate our generous community - merchants, church congrega- tions, and individuals- to make this event a great success! Now in our 1 lth year, we also value the excellent press coverage and photos of this event pro- vided through the years by the Seaforth Expositor. Small gift items or monetary tax- receiptable donations are graciously welcomed and can be dropped off at the church's John Street entrance, on Friday November 25th from 10 am -1 pm. Our Gift Assembly Day will be held Saturday, November 26 from 10 am to 2 pm. We invite helpers from the community including Students who are earning volunteer hours.
