Dianne Aitken, a volunteer of the Huron Christmas Bureau, accepts the donated gifts from the Huron
County Health Unit Community Health Team delivered by Maryanne Hayter and Sam Docherty. At
the Christmas party for the Community Health Team, the staff had drawn Secret Santa names then
bought a child's gift that reminded them of the recipient. The gifts were opened, laughs were shared,
after which the gifts were donated to the Christmas Bureau on December 2 at the St. Paul's Anglican
Church in Clinton.

that there are a lot of
groups who donate gifts to
the Bureau rather than
exchange gifts with their
coworkers. There are also
many individuals who
donate clothing and toys.
One woman who regularly
donates begins her shop-
ping on Boxing Day and
continues throughout the
year to bring in a trunk -
load of gifts to drop off at
the Christmas Bureau
each year. Aitken is often
amazed at the quality and
value of many of the dona-
tions that are received.
Marlene Van Riesen
states, "The community
response has been sup-
portive and fantastic." She
is thrilled with the entire
line of tables that is cov-
ered with nightwear for
children of all ages. Some
are from the Radars
Pajama Toss, while others
come in from various
donators.
The Huron Christmas
Bureau would like to
thank all who made dona-
tions and who continue to
donate to make other's
Christmas a merry one.
The volunteers at St. Paul's Anglican Church in Clinton were
thrilled with the full tables of pajamas donated to the Huron County
Christmas Bureau, including those collected during the Radar's
Pajama Toss at the game on November 20. Volunteers Betty Jo
Cudmore, Mary Gibbings, Marlene Van Reisen and Pat Shaddick
hold up some of the donated items for this section.
The hall at St. Paul's Anglican Church in Clinton was filling with
donated gifts by December 2 during the collection for the 2015
Huron County Christmas Bureau program. Dedicated volunteers
sorted them for distribution as they arrived.
