Christmas Bureau again
seeks to aid the needy
Once again Family and Children's
Services of Huron County is operating
the Christmas Bureau through a net-
work of volunteer groups and in-
dividuals in the county. This cen-
tralized service for families began
more than twenty-five years ago to
provide consistency and confidentiali-
ty to families and to avoid duplication
in services.
The Christmas Bureau is operated
in the five major County towns, Clin-
ton, Exeter, Goderich, Seaforth and
Wingham. It is a location where peo-
ple drop off donations for children and
families who may be less fortunate
than themselves at Christmas. It is
often very difficult for parents to ad-
mit that they cannot provide the ex-
tras for their children at this special
Rebekahs host
assembly head
Pride of Huron Rebekah Lodge
commenced with a banquet at Trivitt
Memorial Parish Hall with Assembly
President Sister Kathryn Bridges
making her official visit. Hensall and
Seaforth Lodges were guests also.
Noble Grand Sister Jan Jeffery
welcomed the guests. Vice Grand
Sister Mavis Atthill reported for the
visiting committee.
Assembly President Sister Kathryn
Bridges had a very inspiring message
for us all.
Hensall Lodge draped the charter
and Seaforth Lodge performed the
closing ceremonies.
The Christmas party will be held
December 3 with a turkey dinner at
6:30 and exchange of $2 gifts.
Birthday greetings were sung for
Sisters Lena Kirkland, Alva Routley
and Kay Cann.
D.D.P. Sister Lila Smith and her
team performed their drill work.
Coat appeal
is underway
The fifth annual "Koats for Kids for
Christmas" campaign officially
began November 15, 1986. The pro-
gram is sponsored by London's Mis-
sion Services, Sketchley Cleaners,
and London Radio Station BX -93
Stereo FM.
Again this year, London and area
residents will be asked to donate any
used winter coats they no longer need.
Coats may be dropped off at any of
the Sketchley Cleaners locations in
London, St. Thomas, Alymer or
Strathroy, for cleaning and minor
repairs. The coats are then passed on
to Mission Services for distribution.
With the co-operation of London's
Red Cross, a distribution centre will
once again be set-up in the lower level
of the Red Cross building, 840 Com-
missioners Road East. The centre will
open, November 24 and good clean
winter coats will be available, free, to
those in need until December 24.
From Monday to Friday, the centre
will be open 10-6 p.m., on Saturdays,
12-6 p.m. On Sundays, the centre will
be closed.
"Koats for Kids for Christmas" has
proven to be an inexpensive way for
everyone to share the warmth of the
Holiday Season with those less for-
tunate. Last year alone, over 7000
coats were donated and distributed,
and even better results are expected
in 1986.

time of year, and with that in mind we
offer them a private confidential ser-
vice through a local volunteer group
which will help them select a suitable
gift and a new piece of clothing for
their child. As well, families are of-
fered canned goods and staples along
with help for Christmas Dinner.
Throughout the year Family and
Children's Services provides wool for
volunteers to knit mitts so children
can have warm hands on cold winter
days.
The Christmas Bureau in 1986 is
coordinated by volunteer Mrs.
Pauline Lingard of Grand Bend who
oversees the total program and pro-
vides consultation for local groups in
order that there is some uniformity of
service to families in the county. She
is assisted by Mrs. Margaret Allan of
Clinton who provides volunteer
secretarial services which allow us to
request donations of both goods and
money.
Family and Children's Services
also work hard to ensure that
everyone who makes a donation is
properly acknowledged including pro-
viding receipts for income tax
purposes.
This year the Christmas Bureau
will be accepting donations during the
week of December s -13 with times
and locations listed in local papers
and previous week. Financial con-
tributions can be made at any time to
Family and Children's Services, 46
Gloucester Terrace, Goderich, On-
tario N7A 1W7:
Our experience has shown us that
this is a, necessary service that pro-
vided help to over 300 families in 1985.
As well we hear annually from
parents who wish to donate after
receiving; or who let 'us know that
while they needed our help last year,
this year they are able to provide for
their families themselves.
The local groups who volunteer to
spend many hours managing this pro-
ject tell us that their reward is the ap-
preciation of moms and dads when
they realize that their children will
have gifts under the tree on
Christmas morning and good things
to eat on that very special day.
The following groups are managing
the Huron County Christmas Bureau
on behalf of Family and Children's
Services this year: Clinton -Clinton
Christian Reformed Church, Exeter
- Exeter Pentecostal Church,
Goderich - Goderich Lioness Club,
Seaforth - Seaforth Opti -Mrs.
Wingham - Salvation Army.
