Christmas Bureau ready to receive
The Huron County Christmas
Bureau is back in business. For the
next week volunteers are manning
each bureau to receive, sort and
package donations for the needy
families and children this year.
Co-ordinator Sue Munnoch says
they are anticipating 1,200 will be
served by the bureau this year and
are hoping that donations will get
off to a good start. "We have a lot
of people this year, who really do
need help," she said, which is as
with other years, of some concern.
Should there not be enough dona
tions to meet demand, the Bureau
has to buy items so they encourage
people to start bringing in dona
tions right away so they know what
food and clothing for the Children’s
Aid Society. Ethel Ball and Vera
Penfound will deliver these. It was
also decided that proceeds of the
day's sale would go to the Salvation
Army and that $25 would be given
to the Canadian Crossroads
International. Money is also to be
given to Alzheimer's, Homecare,
Community Services and Town
and Country Homemakers.
The January date was changed to
Jan. 25. Ruth McClinchey and
Shirley Archambault will be lunch
convenors and Betty Archambault
and Betsy Verwey are in charge of
the programmes.
Vera Penfound read a thoughts
provoking “What is Christmas”. A
mind stretching contest, donated by
Ruth McClinchey, was played and
Betty was the winner.
The bake sale was held with
Betsy as auctioneer. It was quite
successful.
Cards for Christmas were signed
for former members and friends.
Then the Club gathered around the
table, grace was said and delicious
fruit breads and cheese were served
by Ethel and Vera. A social
gathering closed the afternoon.
