One of the great pleasures in the life of a child is waking up on Christmas morning to a gift under the tree. Kids such as four-year-old Ayva Bruneau are already eagerly counting the number of sleeps until Christmas morning. Each is dreaming about getting a favourite toy, perhaps something new to wear, or unwrapping something they had discovered in a catalogue or in a store, to be under a beautifully decorated Christmas tree on December 25th. Not all children are as fortunate.
The Camrose Kinettes Silent Santa program, now operational for about sixty years, has a goal of ensuring every young person from our community has something to open on Christmas morning. Club members are now collecting new, unwrapped gifts and cash for youth up to seventeen years of age. Every year, there is a shortage of gifts for males and females in the age nine to seventeen category. Suggested donation items for older children and teens include: hygiene kits, bath bombs, socks, board games, footballs, soccer balls, hairdryers, makeup kits, cologne, jewellery and gift cards from local businesses. Donation boxes are out at Duggan Mall and Superstore now through December 20th. Cash donations can be dropped off at Shuman Insurance.
