A little Christmas spirit needed.
Hello to you all, needing a little support. We are visiting the Te Aroha Kenwyn Rest home with Christmas gifts of Santa bears and I am still quite a few short. Over the past few months we have bought off market place and trade me, have had donations for Fur get Me Not and the Salvation Army Op shops here in Te Aroha but if you have one or any you would like to donate to us we would be most grateful. This year through the many restrictions of visits it has been very unsettling for many as visits were either restricted or not allowed for the safely of all this wonderful aged residents, so to bring some joy to them all we will be visiting during the week commencing 13th. December. Also we will be taking our Street organ to entertain for the short time we are there with Christmas music. Please either pm or answer this message or phone 021 182 1394, we can collect if you are not able to drop them off. Thank you all if you don't have a Santa one any reasonable sized bear will be OK and we will put a Santa hat on it. many thanks in advance, and please share this message if you can. Angela and Bill Thompson 109c Centennial Ave. The picture is of our Street organ which will also be part of the entertainment on the opening night of our Christmas Wonderland Fundraiser on 11th. December 7pm for 7.30pm start. Funds this year to the Auckland Starship hospital.
