Hi Folks!

Another year in the books!  This Christmas event was a lot of fun.

Special thanks to our volunteers who helped package the baskets, set up the tables, manage the tickets/raffle, and take down everything down when it was over.

Also, lets not forget to thank:

• Brooke Nelson-St. Dennis (Save On Foods Store Manager) and Joey Thompson (Save on Foods Operations Manager) that donated 8 large turkeys in memory of Robb Glazier, (who often gathered at Save-On, for coffee with his friends)
• UP BEET EATS CATERING (DEBBIE AYERS) who prepared the food (donation of supplies, time, energy and skill to prepare our delicious meal).  The deserts were especially amazing!
• The Bradley Centre for giving us the hall free of charge!
• Everyone who donated items for the silent auction

Attendance was strong, the baskets were especially good this year (Thank you Simple Home Edit), and the other fundraising elements were a great success!

Congratulations to Bonnie S for winning the 50/50 (she promptly donated the winnings to OSRS)!  Thank you Bonnie!  Bill Whitehead would approve.

Last, but certainly not least, thank you Kathleen for being such a wonderful coordinator for OSRS, and MC-ing the event! 

See below for yourselves (thanks MJ and Fern for sharing these pictures)!  If you took some pictures at the event, and would like to share them for the website, please send them my way!
