Catching up

It's been busy, in the past 2 weeks I've been to London, Hanover, Collingwood, Walkerton, Kincardine and Toronto for a couple of days. I'm getting behind on a few things and blogging here is one of the things that gets pushed to the side when it gets this busy. But here's a 'catch-up' of what's going on.

A Christmas Carol

Sunday November 25th, 3 pm

Few events hosted by CBC Radio are as eagerly anticipated or as warmly
received as the readings of A Christmas Carol. The readings bring together
the pleasure of hearing a good story, the joy of music of the season, and
the inspired energy of those who want to make their community a better
place.

The 2006 Christmas Carol was a complete success. Over $205,000.00 was
raised! We thank all those communities that helped carry on this CBC
tradition.

For the last 17 years the Christmas Carol has benefited shelters, food
banks, libraries and hospitals across Canada, and brought joy to the
communities that support them. Congratulations on helping make a difference
this season.

Benefiting Keystone Child Youth and Family Services: All proceeds will go
towards the WRAP discretionary fund which will serve the clients directly.

$10 admission

Just hear those sleigh bells jingling,
Ring ting tingling too
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you
