The Annual Childrens' Christmas Party on December 14th is approaching. The St. Thomas Council will sell raffle tickets to raise funds for the party. At least $2,000 must be raised in order to cover the $600 in cash prizes and to buy gifts and food for the party.

We need volunteers to sell raffle tickets at Marden's Surplus and Salvage on Saturday, August 24th and Sunday, August 25th from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. Raffle tickets will also be sold at Shaw's Supermarket on Saturday, October 5th and Sunday, October 6th. Again from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. Cash prizes of $300, $200 and $100 will be awarded. Drawing will occur at the November 14th St. Thomas Council meeting.

If you wish to help out in this worthy cause, please call Gerry Newport at 324-2427 or on his cell phone at 432-4928. You can either work a morning shift or an afternoon shift at any of the aforementioned dates.
