Getting in the spirit Potential customers peruse the many delicious offerings. Erin and Ellie McGregor take some time off of serving duties to enjoy a cup of tea. A wealth of ladies, anxious to get their hands on some homemade mincemeat, poured into the annual St. Thomas Anglican Church Christmas bazaar on Nov. 15. Those lucky enough to pick up some of the coveted confection also got a chance to sit down to tea and sandwiches served with holiday flare.

Last year, over 1000 children, from newborn to age 18, benefited from your generosity. The Christmas Bureau is a county- wide volunteer group that organizes five gift centres (bureaus) that then dis- tribute new gifts of toys, clothing and food gift cards to families that register for a helping hand.

Goderich Seaforth: Agriplex 140 Duke St., hosted by Egmondville United Church Wingham:Wingham United Church, 217 Minnie St., Wingham Letter to the editor Better to give than receive To the Editor; When my parents, Chris and Shelly Smith, gave my siblings and I an early Christmas present last year, I never dreamed it would impact my life like I did. Our cruise took us to the island of Roatan, Honduras. It was a very beau- tiful island with plenty of sun and sand. But, when our tour guide took us on a private tour of the island where things are not so nice, I was taken aback by the poor living condi- tions and felt so bad for the children. The children of Roatan make a lot of crafts to support their family. We stopped at one small vender and were surprised to meet a missionary couple from Oakville who devoted all their time to the Roatan children and help them with crafts. Every Christmas, the Oakville cou- ple collects items the families will need like tooth paste, cleaning We ask for your assistance once again this year in helping meet the need to assist others. Donations of new toys, gift cards, recreational items or clothing will be gratefully received at the churches or commu- nity drop boxes until Dec. 5. Financial contributions are also required and are much appreciated. These can be made at the church Bureaus or mailed to the care of Huron -Perth Children's Aid Society, 413 MacEwan, Goderich, N7A 4M1. We also wish to make custodial par- ents, who live in Huron County, aware that the phones will be opening on Nov. 17 until Dec. 5, if you would like to make a confidential appointment. Please call 519-524-7356 or 1-800- 265-5198 at extension 3271. Appointments will be scheduled the week of Dec. 8. We truly thank the people, busi- nesses, groups, churches and schools have been so generous and support- ive of the Christmas Bureau in the past years. Merry Christmas, Gayle Dunn Volunteer, Huron County Christmas Bureau supplies and hygiene products. When we were there it was close to Christ- mastime, I got to see all the boxes they collected and I was shocked by all the supplies that were needed. So my trip was very rewarding and when I got home I decided to make pop tab bracelets a young girl showed me how to make while I was there. Well, it took a few months to collect enough pop can tabs, the right elastic and the paint. So, by spring I had sold lots to friends and family at sporting events and yard sales. With the pro- ceeds doing so well, I decided to keep all the money aside and help the chil- dren of Roatan to make more crafts. I sold my last bracelet a few weeks ago so I tracked down the nice couple from Oakville and sent them $200. They appreciated the donation I sent very much, especially so close to Christmas. She said the money will sure go to great use. My experience has been so worth- while and it gives me the real meaning of Christmas it is much better to give than to receive.
