8 Independent & Free Press, Tuesday,November 23, 2010 Tooth Chatter Sally Ann Kettle Campaigns underway By LISA TALLYN Staff Writer With Christmas just around the corner the Salvation Army kettle campaigns are underway in both Acton and Georgetown. The campaigns kicked off Saturday and the kettles will be out throughout Christmas Eve (Dec. 24). The goal for the Georgetown campaign is $60,000 and in Acton the hope is to raise $32,000 in the kettles. The money raised is used to fund the Salvation Army's Family Services program, which helps the needy in both Acton and Georgetown with things like food, emergency shelter and emergency transportation throughout the year. It also goes toward ensuring families have a Christmas. "This money has to sustain us all year," said Major Renee Clarke of the Salvation Army, Georgetown Community Church. In Georgetown, kettles will be out at the Real Canadian Superstore, Georgetown Marketplace, Metro (Georgetown South), and both LCBO locations. In Acton, starting Friday the kettles will be out at Sobeys and Giant Tiger. Starting Dec. 2 there will also be a kettle at the Acton LCBO. Volunteers are needed to staff kettles for two-hour shifts in both Acton and Georgetown. Anyone interested in Georgetown is asked to call 905-877-1374. In Acton call Reg Marsh volunteer kettle co-ordinator at 519-853-0113 or 519-820-5206. Toys are being collected by the Salvation Army in both Acton and Georgetown. In Acton they can be dropped off at the Salvation Army Church, 114 Mill St. E., the Salvation Army Thrift Store at 130 Mill St. E., or Reg Marsh and Associates, 22 Main St. S. In Georgetown, toys can be dropped at the collection box at Georgetown Market Place or the Salvation Army Church at 271 Mountainview Rd. S. until Dec. 14. "If you struggle with what to get and SUNG TO THE TUNE OF Maalox and nose drops and needles for knitting Walkers and handrails and new dental fittings Bundles of magazines tied up in string These are a few of my favourite things Cadillacs and cataracts and hearing aids and glasses Polident and Fixodent and false teeth in glasses Pacemakers, golf carts and porches with swings These are a few of my favourite things When the pipes leak When the bones creak When the knees go bad I simply remember my favourite things And then I don't feel so sad Hot tea and crumpets, and corn pads for bunions No spicy hot food or food cooked with onions Bathrobes and heat pads and hot meals they bring These are a few of my favourite things Back pains, confused brains, and no fear of sinnin" Thin bones and fractures and hair that is thinnin' And we don't mention our shrunken frames When we remember our favourite things When the joints ache, when the hips break When the eyes grow dim Then I remember the great life I've had And then I don't feel so grim "MY FAVOURITE THINGS" Halton Hills Ward 3 Councillor Dave Kentner (left) joined Dan Millar, The Salvation Army's Divisional kettle co-ordinator and Major Renee Clarke of the Sally Ann's Georgetown Community Church at Saturday's Kettle Campaign kickoff at the Georgetown Market Place.
