THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 2012 THE NEW TANNER 15 By Julie Conroy There were lots of Santa's helpers at the Centre on Tuesday, November 20 to help decorate the hall and trim the tree. After lunch everyone enjoyed the movie Arthur Christmas. The Christmas Bazaar was a great success, and we would like to thank everyone who participated by attending, volunteering or buying tickets for the various draws, before or on the day. Dave D'Entremont's ticket #112 won the large hamper, and D. Frizzell's #194 the smaller one. The 50/50 was won by Wes Storey. The winners of the penny table prizes were M. Anderson (2), A. Coulter (3), S. Mitch- ell, H. Van Der Heyden, M. Prueter (2), S. Kruk, D. Maloney, S. Ash, B. McLeod, S. Keating, D. Rennie, M. Robertson (2), J. Marrows, J. Rhodes, T. Leybourne, F. Byers, S. Weaver, M. Walsma, W. Hammond, G. Stone, J. Wanders. The next big event is our Christmas dinner at Blue Springs on Friday, December 5. Tickets are selling fast. The music will be provided by Dream Boat. You might remember they played here in the spring - four young men who play many Beatles tunes plus other songs from that era. We will be providing a bus for those who don't like driving out of town in the evenings. You can park at the Centre. We will also pick up at Elizabeth Street CHRISTMAS BAZAAR: Natasha Marrows served Emily Forward and her grandmother Debbie Rennie ­ the first customers ­ at the Acton Seniors Centre Christmas bazaar and tea on Saturday. ­ Julie Conroy photo and Birchway Place seniors' apartments.

Sign up by Wednesday if you would like to come. One of the big hits of last year was the Secret Santa gift exchange. We will be having another on Tuesday, December 18. to Fred Helson who has donated over $800,000 worth of art work to this project. ***** Thanks to all of you who took the time to attend the Remembrance Day services.

December is a period of short days, cold nights, and cloudy skies. For most, Christmas is a time of joy with friends and loved ones. For some though, it is a reminder of what they don't have, of how hard life can be. This is a time of year that I ask that you remember to donate to organizations that serve our community, such as Food Banks, Salvation Army kettles, and Sharing Trees, to name a few. What's often lost in the statistics is the number of children who are in need as their families struggle to make ends meet. Many of those needing assistance are working people like you. As the Holidays approach, be in good cheer and help others to be in equally happy spirits. ***** The Georgetown Library and Cultural expansion is coming along quite nicely. The temporary site of the Georgetown branch at 224 Maple Avenue will be closing Friday, November 30 at 5 p.m., and will remain closed for the month of December. The Georgetown library will reopen at 9 Church Street in early January. Borrowing will be extended during this time. ***** Tis the season for giving...thank you Brenda and Larry Sisnett for you generous donation of $150,000 to the Georgetown Library and Cultural expansion.
