CGIT group donates toys Lucan Clandeboye C.G.I.T. met in the Lucan United Church kitchen, Monday December 22 to pack Christmas baskets for the shut-ins of Lucan and Clandeboye. After the delivery of the baskets, the girls returned for supper. The whole event was most disappointing for the leaders, and the few girls who attended to work. Since the C.G.I.T. funds were very limited, the girls had decided at a previous meeting to donate some of the articles for the baskets. The suggestion was very enthusiastically passed by all the girls, and indeed they thought it a shame to neglect the aged and shut-ins, but with such poor attendance, it would appear that the girls either forgot or could not be bothered. The girls had also expressed the desire to help a needy family with Christmas groceries, and money was set aside for this purpose. The Lions Club were asked for advice as to a needy family, but the leaders were informed that, as far as was known, every family in the district had been provided for. With the helpful advice from Mr. Tupling it was decided to buy toys for children who would not otherwise receive any. This was done by the leaders.
