Christmas Family Dance Supports Local Food Bank Returns
After a hiatus a new committee revived the Christmas Family Dance to aid the Food Connections Group. The event featured a Chinese Auction with 70 children and 30 adult prizes and raised 342 dollars despite inclement weather. Tickets go on sale at local shops with doors open 7 to 11 pm at Russell Community Centre featuring Santa, photos, supper, and gifts.

Jennifer Desaulniers notes survey results guide age appropriate distribution while Fire Department members sort package and deliver through Food Connections as community support grows.
