CanadS you've done something that helps other people." Originally coined the Christmas Din- ner for Those Alone, the event was established in 2004. Neal Nickles won- dered aloud to his wife Moe how sad it must be to be alone at - Christmas. So concerned was he that the Christmas spirit was being lost on some members of our community, Neal gathered together a small group of volunteers and quickly organized the first dinner hosted at Knox Presbyterian. Twenty-two people who otherwise would have spent their Christmas alone =J in an empty house or apartment, joined together that first year fora feast and fel- lowship. The following year in 2005, the number grew to :36 people, and in 2010 the dinner was sold out. "This is not just for the needy," Nickles told the Signal -Star in 2006, "and not just the poor, but anyone who is alone at Christmas. We invite those people to join us for dinner ... instead of playing with the remote all afternoon." The dinner is set to be served at 3:15 p.m., and attendees will also be treated to a little serenade on St. George's baby. grand courtesy of Arthur Curry.
