This is our
11th year at Lake Bonavista Promenade and it only gets better!!! Our
2 favourite ladies Vyetta and Bev have always met us no matter how cold or warm
the weather and they work right alongside us. The people in this community are
some of the nicest and most generous people you will ever meet and we get to be
a part of this community for a few hours.
Santa brought the truck
into the parking lot at 9AM on the dot. Our volunteers Chris, Janet, Candace,
Dale and Colleen were there to set everything up. We had hardly opened the back
doors when boom there was a donation of 20 $20.00 hampers. This gave us a good
start and also should have indicated to us the type of morning we should expect.
We also, once again were served delicious hot apple cider courtesy of The Fridge
in the Promenade. Thank you so much.
Our moment for the
entire day was a young boy about 6 years old brought out a Gingerbread House Kit
handed it to Santa and whispered in Santa’s ear “ I hope a little girl get this
so she can make it with her Mommy” How sweet is that? Santa told him he would
make sure a little girl got it. The boy’s Mom told us he had picked it out by
with this very intention!!!
We ended our day with
12 food collection boxes filled to the brim; a good amount of cash to purchase
the much needed baby food and smiles on our faces to last the entire
year.
