Gifts for the guys
The 2018 annual Community Christmas Dinner is rapidly approaching, and in anticipation of the event gifts are being gathered to make the season a little merrier for men in the community.
Coun. Charlene Miller has championed a program within the community for several years where she collects necessities such as winter wear, toiletries and chocolate, packs them into purses and gifts them to women at the event.
Regular volunteer Conrad Burns and Coun. Evert Botha were took on the opportunity to replicate the endeavour after noticing a lack of such campaigns for men in the community.
“We’re currently in the process of getting underway for the 2018 Christmas Gift Bags for the Guys. We started this last year and it was such an overwhelming success that we decided to give ourselves a little bit more time this year and start two weeks earlier,” Botha said.
