THANK YOU
2008
THANK YOU to North Renfrew residents and organizations for their
generous support of our COMMUNITY CHRISTMAS BASKET PROGRAM.
For
the past 16 years, the community and surrounding areas of North
Renfrew, have shown an outpouring of goodwill to make a brighter
Christmas possible. This year 114 families, comprised of 197 adults
and 127 children were recipients of gift certificates for
Christmas dinner, along with small gifts, toys, and cans of hot
chocolate from Tim Horton’s. Thank you to everyone who
contributed.
Special thanks to the tireless volunteers from Beta Sigma Phi, who
contribute hundreds of hours to coordinate this Community Christmas
Basket Program, for without their assistance this program would not
be delivered. We thank the coordinators of the Angel trees:
Rosalie Boucher, Point Alexander and Carol Skea, Deep River and all
the angel tree sites: Curves, Scotiabank, BMO Bank of Montreal,
St. Barnabas Church and Chalk River Legion. The pajamas collected
by Northern Credit Union continue to be a welcome addition to this
community program.
Each Christmas we appreciate the help and cooperation we receive
from the Management and Staff of Fleury’s valu-mart and Giant
Tiger.
Without the cooperative efforts of individuals, schools, businesses,
groups, churches and unions, we would not be able to share so much
with so many.
