Tractors, combines, grain buggies and plows will be decked out in Christmas lights which can be seen across the fields as we make our way east from the farm of Gordon and Irma Pryce, at 43451 Sawmill Rd, then return up the Hullett- McKillop line and back to Pryce's. This is an opportunity fora the neighbours to get together for fun and fellowship. Each year, the participants seem to become more creative. Usually we expect 18-20 participants but this year we are opening up the parade. to anyone interested in join- ing the festivities. Just call Pryce's at 527-0917 or Whitmore's at 527-1491 for more information. The parade departs at about 5:30 p.m. as dusk sets in. For front row seats just come and park in a drive- way, at an intersection, or on the shoulder of the road. The welcome will be warm and the viewing will be easy. It ' is a unique way to get yourself geared up for the Christmas season. We look forward to seeing you there. Sincerely, Bruce Whitmore ay season is ng and that it's time to Special as wishes our loyal s& Friends. ursday, December 14 is the deadline 00 to be included in , T Annual s Edition, hed on 20, 2006. Donations to Zambian school a good way to recognize International Aids Day From Page 5 Kondwa continue to hold a spe- cial place in her heart. Through the magic of bank cards, money can be transferred quickly and easily to Zambia. Donors can be assured that all' of their donations will reach the children at Kondwa. We will continue to accept donations, made out to "Clinton United Church" (Box 204, Clinton, NOM 1L0) with the words "Africa Project in the memo line. Receipts will be issued for donations of $20 or more. This new school year, begin- ning in January, 2007, $100 will cover the cost of sending a child to school for a year. This amount covers clothing, shoes, school supplies and the mandatory school fees imposed by the Zambian government. It also covers, happy smiles, full tummies, the joy of learning and the priceless gift of a future! Miraculously, even small dona- tions add up quickly and allow us to send yet another child to school. Donations are welcome any- time, as some schools in Zambia collect school fees on a monthly basis, enabling poorer families to send children to school. Our little friends at Kondwa are so destitute that even a monthly fee of $10 is too much for their households. On International Aids Day, let us continue to focus on our abili- ty to improve the lives of others and may we all be blessed with the knowledge that we can make a difference in this world!
