Dec. 16 at 2 pm at Pauline Thompson's 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.
