Ryan and I had the opportunity to spend an afternoon with a wonderful group of people.
Thanks again to our guests, we had a great afternoon and really appreciate their contribution to the Sun Christmas Charity Auction. United Way, Sign of Hope, Christmas Bureau and the Stollery Children’s Hospital were all grateful recipients of their donation.
I wanted to take this opportunity to remind everyone that there are plenty of worthwhile charities who could really use your help right now. The recession is hard on everyone, but especially on those organizations who rely on donations to continue doing their good work. We tend to think of places like the Food Bank, Bissel Centre and Win House around the holidays, when we are in the midst of conspicuous consumption ourselves.
But these folks need our help year round, so if you have a spare dollar, or some gently used clothing, please consider making a donation. You’ll be so glad to think that something you no longer need can ease the need of a fellow Edmontonian.
Plus, you can often get a tax receipt, and don’t you wish that you had more of those as you scramble to get your return completed in time?
